Outdoor Idaho enters its 39th season this October with SALMON RECKONING, a show on the latest effort to save Idaho’s dwindling salmon population. Here’s a short preview of our program. Congressman Mike Simpson wants to remove or breach the four lower Snake River dams, located in the state of Washington. It has certainly gotten a lot of attention, both pro and con! We go into the edit bay in September. Our show airs October 14th. | Outdoor Idaho

This is quite a find: In the Idaho State Historical Society archives is this film shot by the National Geographic Society, which led a scientific expedition on Idaho's Salmon River in the fall of 1935. Navigating the whitewater in a large wooden scow emblazoned with "National Geographic Society," they show off some daredevil moves, then film pictographs, a porcupine, and a miner; get their boat stuck (then unstuck) on some rocks; and bathe in the Salmon River.
