Fall Chinook season ends soon |
|
October 27, 2015 |
The fall Chinook season will end October 31 in
the Clearwater River, a short stretch of the
lower Salmon River and in the Snake River,
except the section from Cliff Mountain Rapids
upstream to Hells Canyon Dam, which closes
November 17.
The season opened September 1, on the Snake
River between Lewiston and Hells Canyon Dam, in
the lower Clearwater River downstream of the
U.S. Highway 12 Memorial Bridge in Lewiston, and
in the Salmon River from its mouth upstream to
Eye of the Needle Rapids.
The Snake River, from Cliff Mountain Rapids to
Hells Canyon Dam, remains open until further
notice or November 17.
The daily bag limit is six adult Chinook salmon,
the possession limit is 18 adult Chinook and
there is no season limit on adult Chinook. Only
adipose-fin-clipped salmon may be kept.
Only adult Chinook must be recorded on the
angler's salmon permit. There are no limits on
jacks, but anglers must have a valid Idaho
fishing license and salmon permit to fish for
salmon.
As of October 20, anglers had caught and kept
150 marked adults and 22 jack fall Chinook and
caught and released 416 unmarked adults in the
lower Clearwater River. They caught and kept 427
adults and 131 jacks and caught and released
2,085 unmarked adults in the Snake River.
