A third round of Chinook salmon was stocked in the Boise River Thursday, July 14.
Idaho Fish and Game released close to 150 salmon, a mixture of adults and Jacks, at the Glenwood, West Parkcenter, Barber Park and Americana release sites.
There is no parking available at the Americana release site due to construction and space limitations. Anglers need to park at Ann Morrison Park or other nearby areas.
Besides a fishing license, anglers need a salmon permit. Anglers are allowed to keep two Chinook salmon per day, regardless of size. The possession limit is six salmon, regardless of size. Jack salmon - those less than 24 inches - do not need to be carded but count towards the angler’s daily bag limit. Adult salmon - those 24 inches or longer - must be recorded on an angler's salmon permit. Anglers are allowed to harvest 20 adult Chinook salmon statewide during 2016 salmon seasons occurring prior to September 1.
Fishing for Chinook salmon on the Boise River is permitted 24 hours per day and barbless hooks are not required. The season continues through August 30.

With the Boise River floating season open, both anglers and floaters are encouraged to be courteous and respect each other.
