Adult Chinook salmon fishing on the Lower Klamath River will close on Sunday, September 13 at 11:59 p.m. as the area quota has been met.

The spit fishery at the mouth of the Klamath River will be closed to angling at 11:59 p.m. on Wednesday, September 2. Based on CDFW projections of the recreational fall-run Chinook Salmon harvest, anglers will have met the “spit area” adult fall-run Chinook Salmon quota of 15 percent of the total Klamath River Basin recreational allocation of fish caught below the Highway 101 bridge.

CDFW has named Jason Roberts as the new Regional Manager for its Northern Region.

Following three consecutive years of closure, salmon fishing will return to the Klamath River Basin and Sacramento River for the upcoming summer and fall seasons.

A little more than a year after the historic removal of four hydroelectric dams on the Klamath River, CDFW scientists are seeing salmon reoccupying just about every corner of their historic habitat.
