Regional fisheries biologists recently crunched the numbers on their spring electroshocking efforts and report removing 10,654 rainbow trout from the South Fork of the Snake River and stocking them in other East Idaho waters.

The goal of the Rainbow Trout Suppression project on the South Fork was to remove 30 percent of the rainbows — about 12,000 fish — to give the native cutthroat a better chance to thrive.

Pat Kennedy, regional fisheries biologist heading up the Idaho Fish and Game project, said, although the project starting April 19 and ending May 27 didn’t reach the goal of 12,000 rainbows, when added to the Rainbow Trout Harvest Incentive Program, the added angler harvests push the total numbers of rainbows removed from the river to 12,047.
