Idaho Fish Report

A good number of Chinook have moved into tributaries or onto the mainstem spawning grounds. The river flow is currently swift and muddy from recent winter storms. As the flow returns to normal, anglers might want to try plunking with some bright and flashy tackle to cut through the murky water.

ODFW tracks hatchery survival and other important information through Coded Wire Tag returns.  Anglers with hatchery catch are encouraged to return adipose fin-clipped Chinook snouts to ODFW. A snout box with instructions is located inside the fish cleaning station in the port near the boat ramp. Thank you for your participation.
