This past week we documented harvest on creel section 1,4, & 5. Hog Island was still the best area to catch a Chinook on creel section 1. Anglers on creel section 4 were using bobbers and egg clusters and had the best success fishing in back eddies. Creel section 5 saw more pressure around the Skipping Stones Rest Stop and below Clear Creek on the South side of the river. The South Fork did not document any harvest this past week but the fish that were caught and released were caught on spinners.
Water is dropping on the Salmon River so hopefully next week catch rates will be better. On the Snake River anglers on the Idaho side documented the most harvest. Go to Harvest Report for more details. - Jaime Robertson, Fisheries Technician, Clearwater Region
