IDFG seeks input on upcoming Chinook season

   Local Idaho Fish and Game fishery personnel will be presenting information on this year’s run forecast for Chinook salmon and will be discussing strategies on how to best manage them.  The Idaho Department of Fish and Game wants to hear from anglers on what strategies they would prefer most. 

   Please come and attend one of the three meetings listed below:

·  Lewiston: March 4, Idaho Fish and Game Office, 3316 16th Street.

·  Orofino: March 5, IDFG Clearwater Hatchery, 118 Hatchery Roe Drive, located northwest of Ahsahka Bridge.

   Each meeting will begin at 6 p.m. with a presentation and will continue until all angler comments are addressed. In the past, these meetings have lasted two hours.

   All opinions and suggestions regarding these issues are welcome.

   Those unable to attend a meeting can provide their comments by contacting regional fishery personnel at (208) 799-5010 or send their information in writing to Joe DuPont, Idaho Department of Fish and Game, 3316 16th Street, Lewiston, 83501, or by email: Clearwater Fisheries Manager, Joe DuPont at joe.dupont@idfg.idaho.gov.
