Adult hatchery steelhead returns to the Dworshak hatchery are projected to be substantially below that required to meet this year’s hatchery broodstock need and therefore will not be able to produce enough fish to meet future smolt release goals. This crisis necessitated the Tribal closure of mainstem Clearwater fisheries for fall chinook, coho, and steelhead ef- fective October 1, 2019. The unprecedented closure of tribal fisheries in the mainstem Clearwater River and North Fork Clearwater was an extremely difficult decision by the Nez Perce Tribe, but this decision was made to ensure future steelhead returns support fisheries for future generations. What Fishing Opportunities Still Exist?

As a result of closures to certain fisheries, there are still fish to be harvested in other locations. Although harvest on the mainstem Clearwater River is closed, other rivers in the Snake River basin are projected to return steelhead, fall chinook, and coho at levels high enough to support Tribal harvest. Steelhead and fall Chinook stocks returning to the Snake River up to Hells Canyon Dam, Grande Ronde, Imnaha and Salmon rivers will provide harvest op- portunities this year. Also the coho run into tributaries of the Clear- water River will provide fishing opportunities along with returns of steelhead to the upper Clearwater, Lochsa and Selway rivers.
