Report tags to: Tag.idaho.gov Hotline (toll free): 1-866-258-0338 IDAHO FISHING & BOATING ACCESS GUIDE SOUTHWEST REGION 19 thical fishing is as much about common courtesy as it is about Efollowing the regulations. Anglers can improve the experience shared by everyone by following these simple rules.
PLEASE DON’T LITTER. Pick up after yourself and others. Remember that discarded fishing line is litter too. Leave your fishing location cleaner than you found it. DON’T CROWD OTHER ANGLERS. Be sure to leave enough space between your fishing area and other anglers to avoid line tangling and other conflicts. This is basic courtesy that should be observed by all anglers on all streams, rivers, lakes and reservoirs. RAMP ETIQUETTE. Popular boat ramps can become crowded quickly on weekends, and the potential for conflicts can occur. Use the proper lanes for loading and unloading. If possible, load your boat before arriving so you can launch quickly and move your vehicle and trailer to clear space for the next group. Boat anglers should also be conscious of their boat’s wake, especially around anchored boats, docks and wading anglers. ASK PERMISSION. Always ask first before entering private land and treat the property as if it was your own. Idaho’s trespass law is very clear. No person may enter private land to hunt, fish or trap without permission. if the land is either cultivated or posted with legible “no trespassing” signs.
Proper posting includes lettered signs or 100 square inches of fluorescent orange paint or an entire fluorescent orange metal fence post located every 660 feet around the property and at reasonable access points. In Idaho, a trespass conviction includes a mandatory one-year license revocation.
