Idaho Fishing Licenses
To fish in Idaho any person 14 years of age or older must have a valid fishing license.
Anglers younger than 14 do not need a license, but there is a small difference between resident and nonresident youth.
- A resident child under 14 has their own separate fishing limit.
- A nonresident child under 14 must be with someone who has a valid fishing license and their fish are included in the license holders fishing limit. However, a nonresident child may purchase their own license and have their own limit.
Special fishing permits are needed for some activities for both residents and non-residents:
- Fishing for salmon and steelhead
- Fishing with two poles.

Good store with a wide selection. Owner is very nice! Definitely recommend.
Great products, great people, and always an interesting stop. My wife and I are new to fly fishing and Dan & Trudy are excellent at spending time to help us understand the basics. If you are a Pro or Novice, Idaho Troutfitters has just what you need.
Daniel and Trudy are very knowledgeable and always willing to help and answer my newbie questions. Prices are just as competitive as anywhere else. I’ll go to Idaho Troutfitters first every single time.
Dan is very knowledgeable and helpful! Wonderful shop, I highly recommend stopping in!
Danny is a great guy and is handling the fly tying materials we all need. A must visit for the avid fly fisher!
This is a must stop shop!! Great intel on flies, when and where to go and Dan is a super friendly guy.
Great selection and the man working there is a hoot to talk to. Very friendly and knowledgeable.
My friend and I went there to grab some intel and supplies since we were coming from out of town and Daniel was great helping us out. Very knowledgeable and they had everything we needed.
I was blown away by the great selection found at Idaho Troutfitters. They carry top notch gear and the staff was very friendly. They were able to help me find what I needed and most importantly we got to talk fishing! If you are new to fly fishing or a seasoned fly angler give Idaho Troutfitters a visit for your fly fishing needs.
I’m new to fly fishing, I went to Idaho Troutfitters to help me get set up and it was the best experience. They were so knowledgeable and eager to answer all my questions and get me everything I need. I will be back for sure!
Great place, awesome customer service. Simply a great place for both beginner and expert fisherman.
After working in a fly shop in Sun Valley myself, I know what a good experience in a shop should feel like. This place hits the nail on the head. Friendly, knowledgeable, and its presence fills the gap between Twin Falls and Sun Valley for quality flies and equipment. Definitely worth stopping by.
Absolutely love Idaho Troutfitters. Dan (the owner) is one of the most genuine and kind individuals I have ever met. I will go in to buy a dozen flies and it will take me an hour and a half because we get caught up in conversation sharing fishing stories. I highly recommend stopping in to shop, or just to say hi! Sportsman’s isn’t going anywhere, shop local!
Always impressed with quality and assortment of merchandise. Expert help and advice.
Thank you for the incredibly generous information and the excellent stock on hand.
When traveling so far to try to catch a few Trout local knowledge is invaluable! Your willingness to share yours is most appreciated!
