Kokanee illegally dumped in Hayden — Fish and Game seeks public’s help
Thirty-one kokanee were illegally dumped in Hayden and found Sept. 15.
Idaho Department of Fish and Game
Idaho Fish and Game is seeking information regarding 31 kokanee that were illegally dumped in Hayden. The discovery was made by a Kootenai County Sheriff’s Deputy on Sept. 15 near the intersection of Warrant Street and North Reed Road in Hayden. After making the discovery, the deputy immediately contacted Idaho Fish and Game.
Based on visible body marks, it is believed the fish were illegally harvested with gill nets. All edible portions of meat were left intact, meaning the kokanee were wasted.
