The return of steelhead to the Snake River and its tributaries continues to fall short of what was an already low preseason forecast.
Idaho Fish and Game commissioners will meet in Nampa next week to consider adjusting bag limits for the steelhead harvest seasons that open on the Snake and Salmon rivers Sept. 1 and the Clearwater River on Oct. 15.
“This is one of the lowest cumulative counts to date in recent memory,” said Alan Byrne, a fisheries biologist for the Idaho Department of Fish and Game at Boise.
