I have been unable to find information for 2015 Salmon fishing on the Clearwater? Any news would be helpful
Answer:
The rules that were approved by the Idaho Dept. of Fish and Game Commission: Clearwater River Basin - Daily Limit: 4 fish only 1 of which may be an adult except in the South Fork Clearwater River where 2 adults can be harvested. Fishing will occur 7 days a week. No river section closures, except the Big Eddy Hole will be closed to boat fishing. This area will be marked by signs on the upstream and downstream borders.
At the present time fisheries staff are projecting 14,073 hatchery-produced Chinook will cross Lower Granite Dam and head for the Clearwater drainage. When you subtract the Tribal share and hatchery broodstock needs - that will leave roughly 4,500 fish for licensed anglers.
