Clearwater River: The spring run-off appears to be over and the Clearwater River is shaping up nicely, running around 26,000 cfs. The Chinook season is well under way and many salmon are being caught all along the Clearwater main and the North Fork. The fishing areas and limits have changed a few times so it is always good to check with Idaho Fish and Game prior to banking the river. Several anglers are pulling in some nice jacks in the Lenore and Orofino area. Adult salmon (24 inch plus) may only be kept above Orofino bridge.

Since power boats are allowed above the Orofino bridge and the salmon are traveling through that area in great numbers many anglers are utilizing those waters for their "catch."
