Spring chinook season opening on Snake River

The spring chinook season on the Snake River is opening for two days a week.

Fishing will be allowed starting April 29 on Fridays and Saturdays below Ice Harbor Dam. The open area is from the southbound Highway 12 bridge upstream about seven miles to the fishing restriction boundary below Ice Harbor Dam.

The season below Little Goose Dam — from the Texas Rapids boat launch upstream of the mouth of the Tucannon River to the fishing restriction boundary below Little Goose Dam — opens May 1. Fishing will be allowed Sundays and Mondays. Fishing near Clarkston is on the same schedule.

The daily limit is six hatchery chinook with no more than one adult chinook salmon. Anglers must stop fishing for salmon each day when an adult has been kept.
