Press release from the Department of Fish and Wildlife:

North coast anglers are about to meet their seasonal salmon quota in another popular spot, triggering new restrictions on the Trinity River fishery. Monitoring efforts show that anglers above Cedar Flat on the Trinity River will have caught their quota of 183 adult fall-run Chinook, 22 inches or longer, by sundown on Friday, Oct. 21. After the quota is met, anglers will still be able to fish in this area but must release any Chinook longer than 22 inches.

The quota on the Trinity River is 183 adult Chinook from the confluence with the Klamath River up to Cedar Flat. This fishery is still open at this time.

Anglers may keep track of the status of open and closed sections of the Klamath and Trinity rivers by calling 1 (800) 564-6479.

How does 183 subjectively get chosen?

Fish under 22 inches in length cant get to 22 inches if overfishing forces more death to the young population.

Water flows, not catch totals.

You don’the know jack! Salmon under 22 inches are call jack salmon and because of too many hormones or whatever come up stream before they are mature enough to reproduce. Some return to the ocean and some don’t.

Exactly, HOJ don’t know jack about 183 being a subjective appearing total and how the number assessed became to be…..as far as your analyses, it reads ya got your info backwards……you are endorsing catching more diseased fish under 22 inches while letting the healthy 22 inch longer fish go…….
