The following list of known freshwater fish species, subspecies, and hybrids occurring in the U.S. state of Idaho is taken from Wydoski and Whitney (2003). Some scientific names have been updated or corrected. Asterisks denote introduced fishes. The list includes several anadromous species.

Bull trout sign at Lake Pend Oreille in Idaho. The bull trout is listed as a threatened species under the U.S. Endangered Species Act throughout its range in the contiguous United States. [6] In 1998, the Klamath River distinct population segment (DPS) and Columbia River DPS were federally listed as threatened. [21]
The Columbia River redband trout, [1] the inland redband trout [2] or the interior redband trout [1] (Oncorhynchus mykiss gairdneri) is one of three redband trout subspecies of the rainbow trout in the family Salmonidae. [3] It is native in the Columbia River and its tributaries in Idaho, Oregon, Washington and Montana.
The redband trout subspecies find their ideal habitat in clean, cool, relatively small and low gradient streams, but are capable of enduring higher water temperatures (75–80 °F; 24–27 °C) than other trout that may co-habit the same streams. As with other trout, they feed on insects, crustaceans and forage fish, depending on their size.
While fine-spotted x rainbow trout crosses are observed in the South Fork of the Snake River in Idaho, they are infrequently encountered and appear to be hatchery hybrids. Conversely, Yellowstone x rainbow crosses are common; the " cutbows " of Yellowstone Park in the Lamar River drainage are natural hybrids.
Analysis by Robert Benhke, Eric Wagner, and Steve Culver proved the species to be a presumably introduced population of Sunapee trout. Later research found reports of a trout egg trade between the Idaho and the New Hampshire Fish and Game departments. [4] They are reportedly found in two Idaho bodies of water, Alice and Sawtooth Lakes.
