The Idaho Fish and Game Commission has approved summer Chinook salmon seasons for the South Fork Salmon, Upper Salmon and Lochsa rivers. The seasons will open Thursday remain open seven days a week until harvest goals are achieved.
By June 13th, about 85% of the returning summer Chinook had already been counted at Bonneville Dam on the Columbia River, which is the first dam the fish cross after leaving the Pacific Ocean.
Fishing on the Lochsa River will be open from the Lowell Bridge upstream to Twin Bridges immediately upstream from the confluence of Crooked Fork and Colt Killed creeks.
