Gebhards worked for the Idaho Department of Fish and Game for 37 years. where he was Chief of Fisheries and a Regional Supervisor. He worked on many hot button topics such as stream channelization, stream protection and clean water, which almost got him fired by Governor Samuelson in the early 1970's. Taking what he learned as a commercial fisherman, he prepared a net repair manual that would find worldwide distribution. He also developed a method to transport juvenile fish to high mountain lakes that is still in use today. He was recognized for his work with several state and national awards including Life Time Achievement awards from IDFG and the American Fisheries Society.
