Is is legal in the state of Idaho to keep?

wild minnows. I took my son to the canal today cause they shut the water out. And we turned over rocks and caught minnows so I brought them home and dumped them in my tank cause they were guna die anyways. My BF say it is illegal to keep them but I couldn't find anything in the laws that is specific. I found a thing that says it is not common for people to do this but it does not say illegal.

So we ended up with 2 crappie, 1 bass, 5 channel cat, and 1 sucker. So can I keep them? My dad kept wild fish in our tank when we were kids but that was years ago.

    I'm not sure.

    Some of those fish I think are considered game fish and I don't think you can just keep them. Call the Fish & Game department in the morning and ask them, just don't give your address or proper name........
