Idaho Salmon 2017

[Steelie30]

Though not the only factor, high jack percentages usually signal good things to come. Last year, we didn't see a good percentage of jacks and this year we obviously don't have a strong run. This has been a weird year. I think the fish are getting intermingled because of the water and temperature. I think the first priority needs to be getting full capacity of broodstock so that we can reset for the future. If there is confidence that brood will be met then by all means I hope they give us a crack. I wonder when they will make a decision on the Upper Salmon. I feel the outcome will be no season, or jacks only. Time will tell. If we did get to fish the Little Salmon, I'd imagine the peak would hit sometime around July 1st?
