Seasons, limits, special regulations and closures for each reach are on the agency pages below. Read them before you go.
Each comes from the agency's own published list; where the list names a reach it is quoted. A designation applies to the listed reach, not necessarily the whole water. Listed in the finder under trout.
On the IDFG Recommended Fishing Waters (Idaho Fishing Planner) list (Idaho Department of Fish and Game, read 2026-11-05). All waters with this designation
On the Special Rule Waters (trout / salmon / gear rules) list (Idaho Department of Fish and Game, read 2026-11-05). All waters with this designation
Quoted word for word from the agency page on the date shown. Many quotes name the reach they cover and apply only to that part of the water. Rules change; the linked page is the authority.

Matched on the fish the agencies list for both waters first, then the same water type, an official designation or flagship listing on both, and a similar mapped size where USGS hydrography covers both.
At most two waters per country. A shared fish is a listing, not a promise: presence varies by reach and season.
Like the Henry's Lake? Same fish, overseas.
