Hunting
If you are planning to hunt with stock on forest lands, make sure that the hay, straw, or mulch you are taking has been certified as free of noxious weeds and seeds. Processed feed such as pellets or cubes are also allowed. For more information, visit the Intermountain Region Noxious Weed web site.

Fishing
Fishing in our lakes, rivers, and other waterways continues to be a favorite pastime of forest visitors.
The National Forests of the Intermountain Region are home to scores of native trout and salmon populations.
State fishing licenses are required and can be obtained from a local state fish and game office or
sporting goods store. Make sure that you use the permitted type of bait and fishing gear for the area
you plan to fish. There may be a limit to the number, size, and kind of fish that you can keep.
You can obtain a copy of the state regulations that cover these points at the time you get your license.
If you plan to use a boat or watercraft when fishing, check with your destination office to see what
kind of watercraft is allowed there. Always adhere to cautions and procedures for cleaning your
watercraft so that you don't promote the spread of non-native species to the next body of water you
may visit with your boat. Use proper dumping stations instead of tossing refuse into the water.
Please follow all visitor rules and
practice good safety when visiting the National Forests.
