Springer fishing in Idaho!

Here at Jarrett's Guide Service we like to chase big fish! As you can tell from our website, we can get some good ones here! Our Spring Salmon season can really reap some giant rewards!

Yes even though we are 400 miles from saltwater, we still have one heck of a time catching these giants! Since 1995 we have had some really great runs here! Some have had as many as 100,000 chrome slime darts over Lower Granite dam coming to Idaho!

Checkout the dam counts here:

Salmon fishing here can generally start in late April and can run through July. The best time to chase these giants is from the opener thru mid-June. Our best catching is when the snow is melting in the spring. As the flows peak and start subsiding, catching can get really good!. This a really popular sport! Put this on your must do list! This one books quickly when we have a season. We have had a season every year since 1995. In some years we get some giants! Like 25 lbs or better! The average Spring Chinook that comes here is 12 to 15 lbs!

We are currently booking for this coming Salmon season! If history repeats itself, we should see an opener of late April! Lets hope for the huge numbers that have been predicted!

Spring Chinook pricing:

$225.00 per person

IDFG has set the Spring Chinook season. Opens on April 23, 2011. Limit is 3 a day on the Clearwater and it's tributaries. Only one can be an adult. The other 2 are Jacks. Jacks are classified as being under 24". The Lower Clearwater will have enough fish around to catch by the 10th of May. From what we are hearing down on the Lower Columbia, this years fish size is really nice! Salmon averaging in the 20lbs. Have seen photo's of some going over 25lbs! Gonna be a dandy season! Don't miss out!
