More Chinook Coming to the Boise River

A second round of Chinook salmon will arrive in the Boise River on Friday, June 26. Idaho Fish and Game expects around 120 adult and 40 jack salmon will be released sometime after noon, spread across the Glenwood, West Parkcenter Bridge, and Barber Park release sites. Besides a fishing license, anglers need a salmon permit. Anglers will be allowed to keep two Chinook salmon per day, regardless of size. The possession limit will be six salmon, regardless of size. Jack salmon - those less than 24 inches - do not need to be carded but count towards your daily bag limit. Adult salmon - those 24 inches or longer - must be recorded on an angler's salmon permit. Anglers are allowed to harvest 20 adult Chinook salmon statewide during 2015 salmon seasons occurring prior to September 1. Fishing hours for Chinook salmon on the Boise River is permitted 24 hours per day and barbless hooks are not required. The season continues through September 30. With the Boise River floating season open, both anglers and floaters are encouraged to be courteous and respect each other.
