Here is what the State of Idaho has to say for itself about its fishing:
”Idaho is famous for its fishing. More than 10 world-class blue-ribbon wild trout streams, including the Henrys Fork, Silver Creek and the St. Joe River, are scattered throughout the state. Many other high-quality trout streams exist that don’t get the headlines and the crowds. Idaho’s rugged mountains contain more than 1,500 high mountain lakes with good trout fishing. Numerous large natural lakes and reservoirs provide a wide variety of fishing opportunities for warm and cold-water species.”
Many areas are public so check to see if the fishing is free where you are headed.
Although a mountain state, Idaho still has many boating options on lakes, rivers, and reservoirs. Watercraft of all sorts have exciting river highways and streams to ply upon. State parks are an open door for getting on the water.
