IDFG biologists to look at fate of fish after catch-and-release

Idaho Department of Fish and Game biologists are starting to study survival rates of lake trout that are caught and released by anglers on Priest Lake. The study will help IDFG biologists better understand whether mortality of caught and released fish is high enough in Priest Lake that it is an issue with which anglers and IDFG need to be concerned.
