August 16, 2018
Action: Release all steelhead. Night closure for salmon/steelhead fishing.
Effective date: August 18, 2018 until further notice.
Species affected: Salmon and steelhead.
Location: Drano Lake and Wind River from mouth to 400' below Shipherd Falls fish ladder.
Reason for action: Precautionary action is being taken to reduce steelhead impacts as cumulative steelhead passage over Bonneville is behind expectations, particularly during a time with elevated water temperatures.
Additional information: When a night closure is in effect, fishing is closed from one hour after official sunset to one hour before official sunrise. Official sunrise and sunset times can be found at: http://aa.usno.navy.mil/data/docs/RS_OneDay.php.
The steelhead run will continue to be monitored as the season progresses.
