If you want to catch a salmon some place other than the Boise River, better head to the Upper Salmon River this weekend because it could be your last chance.

Fish and Game reported salmon fishing season will continue upstream of the city of Salmon through the weekend, but don't be surprised if it closes shortly after that.

F&G officials will assess the fishery on Friday for the likelihood of additional fishing days next week. Anglers already have taken a total of 1,463 adult chinook, which is more than half the state’s nontribal harvest share in the upper Salmon River.

Fish are entering hatchery traps in greater numbers than required for daily broodstock collections. Most these excess fish are recycled fish back through the fishery. The Sawtooth Hatchery is releasing hatchery fish at Torrey’s Hole and the Watts Bridge, downstream of Challis, and the Pahsimeroi hatchery is releasing fish into the river at the city of Salmon.

When fishing is hot, the quota tends to get caught pretty fast.
