The California Fish and Game Commission (Commission) voted unanimously this week to close in-river salmon sport fishing in the Klamath River Basin and Central Valley rivers for the second consecutive year.
As part of its annual process for adjusting seasons and bag limits, the Commission voted to:
• Prohibit the take and possession of Chinook salmon in the Sacramento, American, Feather and Mokelumne rivers and their tributaries.
• Prohibit the take and possession of fall-run Chinook salmon in the Klamath and Trinity rivers and their tributaries.
• Adopt emergency closures of the spring Chinook salmon sport fishing seasons on the Klamath and Trinity rivers and their tributaries.
