Fish and Game Public Meetings in Salmon Region

Idaho Fish and Game is asking hunters to comment on a number of proposed changes for the 2011 big game hunting seasons in the Salmon Region. Anglers are also being asked to comments on potential nonbiological rule changes for the 2013-14 fishing season. Nonbiological rules include equipment restrictions. They do not include rules addressing seasons, bag limits or size limits. The reason these rules are being scoped early is they must have legislative authorization. These meetings will also address the proposed 2011 Chinook salmon fishing season. Each meeting will be from 4 to 7 p.m. at the following locations:

• Monday, March 7, Salmon Challis National Forest Service Conference Room in Challis.
• Tuesday, March 8, Jo Wenger Conference Room, Idaho Department of Fish and Game office in Salmon.

Those unable to attend a meeting can provide their comments by contacting regional personnel at 756-2271 or send their information in writing to Idaho Department of Fish and Game, P.O. Box 1336, Salmon, ID, 83467. Persons requiring special accommodations due to a disability should contact 756-2271 at least two days prior to the meeting. For additional information contact Tom Curet or Tom Keegan at 208-756-2271.
