3/17/2013 1:44:00 PMToo good to be true...? I couldn't agree with you more. There appears to be high concentrations of perch in the system yet over 1/3 suffered from some type of fin rot or transparent growth. I've also noticed small black dot parasites covering fish in most lakes in this area and is a growing concern for everyone.
Once again, I believe Hayden Lake is resting on a fine edged blade as Idaho F&G has planted a new species (Kokanee) into the system last year or the year before and raised the limit on trout from 2, 19"+ to 6 trout no size restrictions.

In response to anglers' requests for more family-oriented fishing opportunities and simplified rules, IDFG has developed the Family Fishing Waters program. The idea is to make it easy, simple and fun for folks to go fishing with the children, and to target waters where beginners have a great chance of catching their first fish. Many of these waters are at parks or areas with other facilities that can be enjoyed by the whole family. Family Fishing Waters are open all year and have a six fish limit for trout and bass. There are no bag limits on other species and no length limits. Family Fishing Waters also provide easy access, and area easily fished by anyone with simple, standard fishing gear. Check the Region maps in the new 2006-2007 Fishing Rules Book for Family Fishing Waters near you. The brochures soon will be available at license vendors and Fish and Game offices. Anglers aged 14 and older must have a fishing license in their possession.
