Capturing Small Salmon and Steelhead on the North Fork Salmon River

idfg-mbelnap

Beginning on July 1st 2015, the Salmon Region fisheries staff will operate a fish trap on the North Fork of the Salmon River. A fish trap captures small salmon and steelhead in streams and rivers. Once we capture fish, we place a tag in the fish that helps us track them throughout their life. Once we have tagged these fish we can follow these fish from their home in the North Fork Salmon River to the ocean and back again.
