Idaho Salmon documents the history of salmon in the region. The Outdoor Idaho show will premiere on Idaho Public Television and later broadcast on Seattle’s KCTS 9 and Oregon Public Broadcasting.
On "EarthFix" we're doing a lot of environmental news coverage on salmon issues around the Pacific Northwest from river restoration projects to dam removals to federal policy updates. We've created this space to share ~other~ kinds of salmon content.
We want to see your photos, recipes, jokes, stories and whatever else interesting, fun and wacky you've come up with. We'll post the best stuff submitted and others we've "Tumbled" upon. Send submissions by clicking the pencil above or send them to "Toni at EarthFix".

Five Pacific salmon and two trout—inhabit the rivers and streams of the Pacific Northwest. (Their North American ranges are indicated.) Although these fish share certain fundamental characteristics, the differences among them are numerous, both in behavioral traits and in appearance, as is evident from this rendition of spawning males. As the authors explain, conservation efforts aimed at protecting salmon often overlook the importance of preserving this biodiversity and focus instead on boosting the total numbers of fish.

You can fish for our Coho Salmon average 10-14 pounds with fish nearing the trophy 20 pound range caught every year.
If it is the powerful king salmon that you wish to pursue, this is also the time to try your luck for king salmon that average about 25-30 pounds and occasionally exceed 60 pounds! picture to above is 62 pound Chinook caught on Columbia River 2006
