Wow - when did that start? I lived in Couer D’ Alene for years and caught a bunch. Moved down to Utah about 12 yrs ago. Great lakes up there for lakers. Surprises me! Maybe they just want more people fishing for them.

Maybe getting under- fished and hurting the growth with over- population of lakers?

I have only been to Idaho and Cour D 'Arlene once. Had friends from Houston retired and move up there. They built a house on/near the top of a mountain and drilled a well and taped into a hot spring which provided all the heat their home required. Neat setup. Saw a lot of elk, which don't exist here. Different world, but I'm not sure I could handle the cold weather. Just Sayin...RJS

Surprisingly the climate is real close to here in N Utah. About the same number of days below ‘0’ and the same number of days above ‘100’. Altitude is similar 4200 - 4500’ above sea level. About the same amount of snow fall. Only thing is Couer D’Alene gets more rain - about 50% more so humidity is a little higher than Utahs 18-20% in the summer.

If you had own hot springs what difference would it make if it’s cold?

Lake trout eat the small rainbow trout and other species.
Are the lake trout good to eat?

Wow. I’d love to be catching them. Hell, you wouldn’t even have to pay me. So I suspect they’re not native to the area.

Lakers Been there for 60 years that I know of. Never did ask when or where they came from - just caught em. Lake Coeur D’Alene, Priest Lake , Hayden Lake and Pend Orielle (pronounced ponderay)is where we always fished for the lakers.

Sounds like survival of the fittest to me.
