Idaho Form Sp 116 PDF Details

For many, the allure of establishing a private fish pond in Idaho represents a unique blend of personal recreation, environmental stewardship, and a tangible connection to the natural world. The Idaho Department of Fish and Game regulates these endeavors through the issuance of the SP-116 Private Pond Permit, a certification designed to ensure the responsible management and conservation of the state's wildlife resources. This permit, which is valid for five years from the date of issue, necessitates an extensive application process that underscores the importance of maintaining ecological balance while allowing individuals to enjoy the pleasures of non-commercial fish propagation. Applicants are required to provide detailed information covering everything from the pond’s location and water source to the species of fish to be housed and the measures taken to prevent the escape or unauthorized entry of wildlife. Alongside the technical specifications, the law mandates that such ponds do not disrupt natural habitats or unlawfully contain wildlife. Additionally, every permit necessitates a clear certification of intent by the applicant, coupled with an acknowledgment of legal responsibilities. This careful regulation exemplifies the state’s commitment to protecting its natural resources while granting individuals the enjoyment of private parks and ponds, pending they adhere to guidelines that support both personal and environmental wellbeing.
