50+ mile fire line along Salmon River

Depending on the severity of the runoff, its may have little affect on the fishery in the river. It may in fact prove beneficial. The runoff will be high in nutrients and will likely result in increased aquatic productivity which would provide more food for salmon and steelhead fry/smolts. Gotta remember the native species evolved to deal with fire. I know fire usually has little impact on native cutthroat populations and in many cases increases in the populations follow fires.
