F&G Commission Approves Aug. 18 for Fall Chinook Fishing Opener by Staff Clearwater Tribune, August 1, 2018

Fall Chinook fishing on the Snake, Clearwater and Salmon Rivers will open Aug. 18 and Idaho Fish and Game fisheries managers expect 18,126 adult fish to return to Idaho, which compares with 24,780 last year.

Of the fish returning, managers are forecasting 12,013 hatchery Chinook and 6,113 natural origin.

Most of the fishing opportunity will occur on the Snake River, but short sections of the Clearwater and Salmon will have some fishing.

The following areas are open to fishing for fall Chinook: Snake River - from the Washington/Idaho border upstream to Hells Canyon Dam.

Clearwater River - from its mouth upstream to Memorial Bridge.

Salmon River - from its mouth upstream approximately three-fourths of a mile to Eye of the Needle Rapids.
