The annual Chinook fishery held each August on the Clearwater and North Thompson rivers was quite slow this year, (2012) with low returns of Chinook expected, federal fisheries officer Monte Bromley has reported.
“The angling effort was lower than usual likely due to the expected low Chinook return and also higher than usual water on the Clearwater and North Thompson for this time of year. The higher water can make it more challenging for anglers to catch salmon,” he said.
