What are the California salmon seasons in 2009?
Sport and commercial ocean salmon seasons are closed through August 28, 2009. There will be a 10-day ocean sport fishery in the Klamath Management Zone (Horse Mountain to the California-Oregon border) from August 29 through September 7, 2009. A limited in-river salmon season was considered by the California Fish and Game Commission at the May meeting, and it decided to leave open the Sacramento River between the Hwy 113 bridge near Knight’s Landing and just below the Lower Red Bluff (Sycamore) Boat Ramp from November 16 through December 31. Available data suggest that this fishery will target Sacramento River late-fall Chinook and will have negligible impacts on Sacramento River fall Chinook. The Klamath-Trinity River Basin will have a salmon sport fishing season for Klamath River fall Chinook salmon that begins August 15. Check the regulations booklet for specific fishery regulations.
