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 conservation projects and other sportsmen projects being funded by this year’s Commission challenge grants, two lakes getting stocked with jack Chinook salmon in McCall, a native fish restoration project up near Priest River, and one very important tag sale you need to be aware of. Hosted by Fish and Game’s Public Information Specialist Connor Jay Liess.
