Do the Chinook salmon in Coeur d Alene lake run up the St. Joe river? If so when and where might I see them.
Answer:
Yes, some of the chinook from Coeur d'Alene Lake spawn in the St. Joe River, though the majority spawn in the Coeur d'Alene River. The fish in the St. Joe typically spawn in the first large riffles above the slackwater, from St. Joe City to Calder. Now is the time to see them. In recent years, there've only been 10-20 pairs up the st. joe, versus 50-75 pairs in the Coeur d'Alene River.
