Yes, anglers fishing in Idaho need a valid state fishing license, even on private waters.

Resident, non-resident, and short-term licenses are usually available online from the state agency. Our Idaho fishing license guide at /us/blog/idaho-fishing-license-guide covers current prices, where to buy, and who is exempt.
