Chinook salmon fishing is being closed or modified in four river sections effective at the end of fishing hours on June 3, including:
- Closure of the entire Clearwater River including the Mainstem, Middle Fork, North Fork and South Fork Clearwater (except the Lochsa River summer Chinook fishery)
- Closure of the Snake River below Hells Canyon Dam from Dug Bar upstream to the Hells Canyon Dam
- Closure of the lower Salmon River from the Upper Twin Bridge upstream to the mouth of Short’s Creek
- Reduction in fishing days in the Little Salmon River to 2 days per week (Saturday, Sunday)
Closures are due to the sport fishing harvest objectives for those sections being reached. To see what Chinook salmon fishing remains open, go to the Chinook Salmon Fishing Season and Rules page.
