Protecting Idaho’s Wildlife since 1899
In 1899, the Idaho Legislature established the Idaho Department of Fish and Game to preserve, protect, perpetuate, and manage Idaho's fish, wildlife and habitat on behalf of the public, and Fish and Game officials invite people to share in celebration of that mutual effort. Through the invaluable support of sportspeople who purchase fishing, hunting and trapping licenses that fund our efforts—the department has met the evolving challenges to manage and conserve Idaho’s wildlife. “As we celebrate 125 years of conservation, we reflect on the many accomplishments of the past while acknowledging the challenges that lie ahead,” Fish and Game Director Jim Fredericks said. “Through the dedication of passionate staff, countless public and private partnerships, and science-based management, together, we can continue to conserve Idaho’s fish and wildlife.” The celebration will include public events throughout the state where people can meet with Fish and Game staff to commemorate the anniversary. Mark the Date: Magic Valley Region (Region 4) May 18th, 3 to 6 p.m. at the Twin Falls City Park.

April Water Supply Outlook Report
The Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) in Idaho has released the April Water Supply Outlook Report. Winter is coming to an end and the verdict is in. Northern Idaho has one of its lowest snowpacks on record and southern Idaho has one of its biggest snowpacks for a second year in a row. March was tumultuous; significant snowfall brought many basins closer to normal snowpack conditions, but these storms were punctuated by periods of warm, spring weather and widespread snowmelt. Streamflow, snowpack, and precipitation data for each basin, as well as replacements for the daily, ready-to-print maps of SWE and total water year precipitation are available on the Idaho Snow Survey Website. “In March, reservoir operators began walking the tightrope between mitigating downstream flood risks and maximizing stored water in preparation for the irrigation season,” said Erin Whorton, Water Supply Specialist for NRCS Idaho. “Water supply looks sufficient this season, especially for users with ample storage rights. As usual, natural flow priorities depend on the unique combination of weather, irrigation demand and snowpack runoff.” For information on specific basins, streams, and reservoirs, please view the full report online at April Water Supply Outlook Report.
