Fishing While on the Back of a Camel is Forbidden in Idaho
Historic Idaho law once banned fishing from animals to safeguard trout eggs in local streams.

In 1917, Idaho’s legislature passed a law making it unlawful to fish from the back of any animal, including camels, to protect trout eggs from being destroyed by horses wading through streams. This statute was later repealed, and such specific prohibitions no longer appear in Idaho’s fishing regulations. However, the state continues to enforce laws against disturbing fish habitats, such as chasing fish up or downstream (eastidahonews.com).
