With the 2024 closure of ocean salmon fisheries in California, CDFW officials are reminding anglers of important rules relating to transport of salmon taken from Oregon into California.

The California Fish and Game 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.

The California Fish and Game Commission acted on several issues affecting California’s natural resources at its April 17-18, meeting in San Jose. The Commission approved a major amendment with special conditions as recommended by CDFW to an experimental fishing permit related to pop-up gear testing in the Dungeness and rock crab fisheries.

Dog owners in California are reminded to take precautions to protect their pets from Salmon Poisoning Disease.

CDFW this week successfully released approximately 500,000 juvenile salmon into the Klamath River just below the Iron Gate Dam.
