Salmon fishing on the Middle Fork of the Clearwater River, the Snake River in Hells Canyon and the Lower Salmon River closes Sunday evening.

On the Clearwater, Idaho Department of Fish and Game officials say anglers are close to catching the state’s share, while on the Snake, fishermen have caught and released an unusually high number of wild chinook.

The Lower Salmon River is shutting down because anglers there have been catching so many fish - last weekend, anglers caught 1,700 chinook between Hammer Creek and the mouth of the Little Salmon.
