Welcome to Idaho Fish and Game’s Hook and Bulletin podcast—your weekly news roundup of hunting, fishing, trapping, and conservation stories from around the Gem State.

This week on the Hook and Bulletin, we’ll be talking about some of the illegal activities Salmon Region conservation officers encounter in the field, how to check a salmon and steelhead fishery’s pulse, some statewide lake and pond closures to be aware of, and an exciting announcement at the Boise River WMA. Hosted by Fish and Game’s Public Information Specialist Connor Jay Liess.
