Idaho Department of Fish and Game fisheries biologists are taking to the air next week in the Salmon Region.
This year's annual Chinook salmon spawning ground counts will take place on area streams on Tuesday, September 2 and Wednesday, September 3. There will be low level helicopter flights on the Upper Salmon River, Yankee Fork Salmon River, East Fork Salmon River, Middle Fork Salmon River, Lemhi River, Valley Creek, Panther Creek, and the Pahsimeroi River.
The spawning counts help fisheries biologists determine the trends in Chinook populations around the region. This is the 51st year of the aerial counts.
