"SALMON, Idaho -- Idaho fisheries managers will not follow the lead of neighboring states in restricting catch-and-release angling, despite a drought and heat wave that have killed or stressed large numbers of trout and other fish.
Idaho Fish and Game biologists said the unseasonably hot weather in the state in late June and early July had warmed and lowered the rivers weeks earlier than usual.
But they added this week that those conditions were not expected to continue to the point where trout, which are often caught and then released, would perish from the added stress of human handling."
