Can I fish for either salmon or steelhead with one permit or do I need to buy a permit for each species?
Answer:
In Idaho we require seperate permits to fish for steelhead and salmon. So, the Steelhead permit is good for fishing in the spring and fall steelhead seasons. You need to record all steelhead caught and kept over 20" in length on your permit.
The Salmon permit is good for fishing in the spring and summer (spring Chinook salmon) and fall (fall Chinook and coho salmon). Salmon over 24" that are kept must be recorded on your permit by removing a date notch and recording the river section where the fish is caught.
