IDFG image An angler holds a juvenile Spirit Lake chinook. Landlocked chinook salmon in Spirit Lake, first planted in 2016, are reaching the 20 to 24-inch mark, which means they’re big enough for anglers to keep. The lake also holds smaller fish from later releases, which aren’t yet big enough to harvest. The fish are part of a statewide study; anglers are asked to provide fin clips to assist in the study.
