Idaho’s hatchery and fishery managers were forced by the drought, heat and low water levels to stock fish in different areas or adjust the schedule for the fishes’ survival. Instead of stocking Mackay Reservoir, which was near 17% of capacity, hatchery staff took the fish to upper Big Lost River streams.
