The state Fish & Game Commission (FGC) has adopted ocean salmon sport fishing regulations that allow for a limited season this year.
The inland salmon season regulations were adopted for the Klamath and Trinity rivers. The Central Valley regulations have been tabled until the FGC's May 5 meeting.
The newly adopted ocean salmon sport fishing regulations are now available on the Department of Fish & Game's (DFG) Web site at www.dfg.ca.gov/marine/oceansalmon.asp.
The commission will also take action on a limited salmon sport fishing season for the Central Valley on May 5.
DFG staff are currently reviewing the draft for potential impacts on listed winter run Chinook salmon, and examining whether additional angling opportunities are feasible.
Once the review and revision are complete, DFG's proposed seasons and zones will be posted on www.fgc.ca.gov/regulations/new/2010/proposedregs10.asp #cv.
The FGC also adopted the proposed 2010-2012 mammal hunting regulations, taking DFG's recommendation not to change existing bear hunting regulations at this time.
The regulations approved this week also increase elk hunting opportunities through the addition of new hunts, reduce deer harvest in Zone X1 and set in place regulations for mammal species for the upcoming seasons.
