Little Salmon rivers |
|
August 27, 2015 |
The fall steelhead harvest season opens Tuesday,
September 1 on the Snake, Salmon and Little
Salmon rivers.
The Snake River is open from the Washington
State line at the confluence of the Snake and
Clearwater Rivers upstream to Hells Canyon Dam.
The Salmon River is open from its mouth upstream
to the posted boundary 100 yards downstream of
Sawtooth Hatchery.
The Little Salmon River is open from its mouth
upstream to the U.S. Highway 95 Bridge near
Smokey Boulder road.
The limits on these waters are three per day and
nine in possession.
The Clearwater upstream of the U.S. Highway 12
Memorial Bridge, the Middle Fork, North Fork and
South Fork Clearwater rivers are
catch-and-release only until October 15, when
the harvest season in those sections opens.
The harvest season already is open at the
two-mile stretch of the lower Clearwater River
from its mouth to the U.S. Highway 12 Memorial
Bridge near Lewiston.
The limits on the Clearwater are two per day and
six in possession.
Anglers may keep 20 steelhead for the fall
season, which ends December 31. Only steelhead
with a clipped adipose fin, evidenced by a
healed scar, may be kept. Any steelhead that has
an intact adipose fin must be released unharmed.
