🌲 Environment
Persistent drought has reduced American Falls Reservoir to 3% capacity, which has lowered oxygen levels and stressed local trout populations.
Idaho Fish & Game announced fish salvage orders at several reservoirs and will begin stocking American Falls later this month with 250,000 fingerlings and 42,000 catchable-sized trout while Idaho Power adds 9,000 catchable trout.
