The upper Salmon River Chinook fishery will close at the end of fishing hours on July 15th due to anglers exceeding the harvest limit, with 191 adult Chinook caught this season. Idaho Fish and Game celebrates a successful season but urges anglers to act quickly for one last chance before the closure.

The upper Salmon River Chinook fishery is seeing a significant increase in salmon catch rates, with about 67% of the harvest share available. As of June 28, anglers have harvested 68 hatchery adult salmon, and river conditions are favorable for fishing this upcoming weekend. Ongoing updates on trapping numbers will ensure anglers stay informed.
