Area wildlife enthusiasts are invited to a Sportsmen’s Meeting to be held Tuesday, Dec. 1, 6:30 a.m. at the Idaho Department of Fish and Game Office, 3316 16th Street, in Lewiston.
A presentation on the Department’s smolt monitoring program will highlight the meeting. This monitoring program provides information on the migrating characteristics of steelhead and salmon within the Snake River Basin.
Since 1984, the program has operated large fish traps on the Clearwater, Snake, and Salmon rivers. At these traps, ocean-bound juvenile salmon, steelhead, trout, or smolts, are captured, examined, enumerated, and released back into the river daily from early March through May.
Fish and Game will also present information on hunting season results, local enforcement activities, and progress of the steelhead season.
The meeting is designed to stimulate informal discussions about local wildlife issues. Sportsmen’s group representatives are welcome to provide reports of their group’s activities.
The breakfast meeting will run until 8:30 a.m. with coffee and doughnuts provided.
