Salmon Season

Not looking good for salmon fishermen, bummer but I am sure it’s the right decision, as long as it doesn’t end up closed forever of course.

California Fishermen Bracing For A Complete Closure of Salmon Season

There’s very bad news for those who love California king salmon. Fishery managers right now are considering a full closure of this year’s salmon fishing season, and it’s all tied to our years-long drought.

That would have a huge impact on a lot of people. That's also going to put more pressure on the halibut, both Pacific and California halibut and rock fish.

Yes rock fish will get hammered just like last time.
Really something needs to be done about the large commercial netting operations. The amount of fish being killed as By-Catch needs to be addressed.

I'm not sure why F&G might close it as the past years they have sold the eggs from the salmon on the Sacramento to the state of Washington.
Why haven't we heard more about that!
If they did not sell them, maybe the population would be up

Interesting, I haven’t heard that. Any idea how long it’s been going on?

I am not sure how long it has been going on, but I do know some of the guides on the Sac river brought it up to F&W and I honestly can't remember the response and or recourse

It has been closed before. However, I heard China nets just outside in international waters? I think that was issue with salmon in AK a few years ago.

We have messed the salmon fisheries up to the point there is never any good news.


I don’t know if a total shutdown for 10 years would do a thing at this point. Very sad the destruction we have caused.
