Newest Chinook harvest numbers

[Kodiak1]

F & G just released the newest chinook harvest #'s--as of May 2nd. Clearwater had 56 adult chinook caught, 0 jacks, and 15 unclipped released. 3,974 hours. 71 hours per fish kept. Not good!! Mike

I wouldnt consider the f&g harvest report a reliable source of information due to the fact that there is a ton of fish caught that never get checked.

It is early, the water is low, and there have been a couple of days where the ware mudded up good. The fishing will pick up in a week or two (or 3)...

This is good and bad. It is bad for the anglers down river from us not catching much, but great news for us anglers up stream that can not fish yet due to no season.[]

2008 we never got checked by F&G on the clearwater in 4 days!!! He banked 37 salmon... That would have helped the fish hours...

Salmon are headed to the salmon river I think guys!! Just judging by the predictions and how slow the clearwater has been. There are a lot of fish above granite now and they should be hammerin them at the RR bridge in lewiston unless they just keep heading up the snake.

Seems to me that it isn't necessary to check all anglers to get an accurate catch rate; as long as you have a large enough sampling, and they certainly did have a sizeable hours of fishing #. My experience at the confluence has been much different than some of you. I have been checked every time I fished there, even when I was launching in Clarkston, WA. At the Washington ramp, there were two Idaho F & G officers, but no one from Wash. Fish and Wildlife! Mike
