The season for steelhead fishing is right around the corner. According to fish and game, there are a record number of steelhead returning for the summer/fall run!
From F&G:
Catch-and-release fishing for steelhead opens in the Snake and Salmon rivers August 1. Harvest season opens September 1.
[ul][li]Salmon River from the Lake Creek Bridge to Long Tom Creek (a quarter mile upstream from the Middle Fork Salmon River).[/li]
[li]Salmon River from Long Tom Creek (1/4 mile upstream from the Middle Fork Salmon River) to posted boundary 100 yards downstream of Sawtooth Hatchery.[/li]
[li]Little Salmon River from its mouth upstream to the U.S. Highway 95 Bridge near Smokey Boulder Road.[/li]
[li]Snake River from the Washington state line at the confluence of the Snake and Clearwater Rivers upstream to Hells Canyon Dam.[/li][/ul]
Does anyone know when the season opens up for the Salmon/Challis area?
I'm ready to catch some chrome!!!
