The pending closures leave Little Goose anglers two more days of fishing — today and Friday. Anglers who like to fish the Ice Harbor area have just one more day to fish — Wednesday. According to a news release from the agency, anglers are expected to reach the state’s harvest quota for the Snake River this week.
