Location: Eagle Fish Hatchery - 1800 Trout Rd., Eagle, ID 83616. The Eagle Fish Hatchery is located adjacent to Eagle Island State Park in Eagle, ID. From Highway 84, take Eagle Road north to Chinden Road. Turn west on Chinden Road to Linder Road. Take Linder Road north to Hatchery Road and make the forced right turn onto Trout Road near the entrance to the State Park.

Hatchery Information: Visiting hours are 8:00 am to 3:00 pm daily; tours can be scheduled by calling 208.939.4114. Because of the nature of our two protected species programs, organized tours are most appropriate for classes at the junior high level or above. Tour participants can expect to learn some basics about the Endangered Species Act, the status of salmon and steelhead in Idaho, the hurdles that Idaho salmon and steelhead face, and what the Idaho Department of Fish and Game is doing to maintain and rebuild populations.

This box was carved and planted by Lizman age 11. For additional information on Eagle Fish Hatchery: http://fishandgame.idaho.gov/fish/hatcheries/eagle.cfm

Drive towards the back end of the hatchery (to the south heading straight once you enter the hatchery-do not turn to your left to the parking area) towards the public access area that leads to the Boise River. You will be parking across from a building that says “Eagle Truck Shop” once across some wooden planks. Find the dirt trail that leads to the river with a brown sign that says “Public Access Area”. To your immediate right you will see a wooden fence and a long row of evergreen trees. Count the trees until you reach the 21st evergreen it is right near a green metal rod that is in the ground. “Fish Fry” is located at the base of tree #21 under a pile of large river rocks. Please be discreet in retrieving and re-hiding this box, as the hatchery staff is unaware of its existence.

If you continue down the path it will take you to the Boise River but this path can also be flooded closer to the water based on water levels.

Should you note the box missing, it’s contents in bad repair or if you just want to say “Hi” please contact me at Blackvelvetrav@yahoo.com. Thank you & happy hunting!
