All fish are subject to water levels, predators in the environment, fishing pressure, bag limits. Water levels and spring runoff can contribute to panfish numbers, low water and little runoff can hurt their spawn, a few years of these conditions can directly impact the number of fish in a reservoir, added angling pressure can impact that even more, especially with liberal bag limits. Whatever reservoir you fished in Idaho might not be well known except for locals, and there is no limit on panfish in Idaho that I know of, it could actually hurt that fishery in years to come, as far as I know it's great now.
