The Idaho Department of Fish and Game will conduct a summer chinook salmon fishing season.
Fishing will be allowed on the Lochsa, the south fork of the Salmon and main Salmon rivers starting Saturday. Fisheries managers project 170 to 200 adult summer chinook will be available for harvest on the Lochsa River, 1,000 on the south fork of the Salmon River and 1,400 on the upper Salmon.
Idaho’s bag limit will be four hatchery spring chinook per day with a maximum of two adult fish. However, anglers on the Lochsa River will be able to catch and keep chinook with both clipped and intact adipose fins.
