Approximately 250 steelhead will be released into the Boise River on Friday, Nov. 17.

The fish are trapped at Hells Canyon Dam on the Snake River and will be released in equal numbers at five stocking locations.

Boise River steelhead limits are 2 fish per day, 6 in possession and 20 for the fall season. Though required in other steelhead waters, barbless hooks are not required for Boise River steelhead angling.

In addition to a valid fishing license, anglers looking to fish for one of the hatchery steelhead need a steelhead permit. Permits can be purchased at any Fish and Game office or numerous vendors across the state.
