Snake River Steelhead Limits Cut | Spokane News

Steelhead anglers brace for tighter limits as fishery managers slash daily catch quotas across the Snake River system—down to one fish in key stretches, including the Tucannon—due to record-low returns. With just 52,000 summer steelhead passing Bonneville Dam this year, the smallest since 1938, officials are urgently reducing pressure on wild populations to boost spawning success. More closures and stricter rules loom for fall chinook too, as conservation efforts intensify to protect dwindling salmon runs.
