🎣 Fall fishing is heating up on the Clearwater!

Anglers are finding action up and down the river — with steelhead starting to move in and Chinook salmon season open daily through the end of October. Reports from the Clearwater and Snake confluence say catches have been “hit or miss,” but those good days are really good!

Plan your fishing trip to Kamiah and stay close to the action at the Clearwater 12 Motel — your clean, comfortable, and affordable basecamp right on Highway 12.

Amazing news!!! Increase in daily limits for our fishing guests!

The Idaho Fish and Game Commission on May 22 increased the daily and possession limits for Chinook in portions of the Clearwater River basin due to a large percentage of the Clearwater return heading back to Kooskia hatchery on Clear Creek. Changes take effect immediately.

New limits are:

Mainstem Clearwater River upstream of Orofino Bridge, Middle Fork Clearwater, and South Fork Clearwater Rivers

Daily: Four Chinook, only two may be adults
Possession: 12 Chinook, only six may be adults
For full seasons and rules for Chinook salmon fishing, see the salmon fishing webpage: https://idfg.idaho.gov/fish/chinook/rules

Big News for Anglers: Clearwater River Fishing Just Got Even Better!

The spring Chinook season is heating up, and Kamiah is the perfect place to stay close to the action. According to Idaho Fish & Game:

"The Clearwater River basin’s projected harvest share (4,035 adult fish) is significantly higher than what we forecasted (1,144 fish) when seasons were set, which is great news."

That’s nearly four times the original forecast — and fantastic news for anyone ready to fish the Clearwater!

The Clearwater 12 Motel in Kamiah offers clean, convenient lodging just steps from the river. Whether you're here for a weekend or a full week of fishing, you'll find everything you need for a comfortable stay.
