Idaho officials predict large return of salmon
The Idaho Department of Fish and Game is predicting this year's return of salmon will be the largest in eight years.
BOISE, Idaho —
The Idaho Department of Fish and Game is predicting this year's return of salmon will be the largest in eight years.
Agency officials say about 105,000 salmon will return.
The forecast is based on last year's return of "jack" salmon, males that return after a single year in the ocean.
Last year, about 16,000 jacks returned. That's about 10,000 more than the average over the last 10 years.
Fish and Game commissioners will set a salmon season in March.
Salmon are a prized game fish that draw thousands of anglers to the Clearwater and Salmon river systems.
