Based upon California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) projections of the recreational fall Chinook salmon catch on the Trinity River, anglers will meet the Upper Trinity River adult fall Chinook salmon quota below Old Lewiston Bridge for the 2020 season as of 11:59 p.m. on Sunday, Oct. 25.
This triggers the closure of the adult Chinook salmon fishery on the Trinity River from the Old Lewiston Bridge to the Highway 299 West Bridge at Cedar Flat. This reach will remain open for harvest of jack (two-year-old) Chinook salmon (less than or equal to 23 inches). All adult Chinook salmon caught must be immediately released and reported on the angler’s report card.
Anglers may still fish for adult Chinook salmon in the Lower Trinity sector, but all other sectors will closed to adult harvest.
Anglers can monitor the quota status of open and closed sections of the Klamath and Trinity rivers by calling CDFW’s information hotline at (800) 564-6479.
For more information regarding Klamath River fishing regulations, please consult the 2020-2021 California Freshwater and Supplemental Sport Fishing Regulations at wildlife.ca.gov/regulations.

Does CDFW really think this tiered river closure system works to conserve salmon? Where the hell’s the data for that? Seems if there aren’t enough adult salmon to allow continued fishing in the upper section, then continuing to allow the take of adults migrating upriver through the lower section is counterproductive. But what the hell do I know… I’m just a retired aquatic biologist.
Probably works about the same as the tiered system for COVID infection does for humans.
Obviously, spectacularly.

OF Demacrats that’s why it’s all screwed up, check it out anglers
What about the Stanislaus ? The water level stays so low in the summer that the fish are not staying in the river around Oakdale and Ripon but when the Salmon are coming they let more water out and the fish lay their eggs and then cut the water back and the eggs are out of the water from what I hear.
…believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved…
Acts 16:31
Tell that to the salmon.
This is a bunch of bs why not close the whole river like they do ours up here in washington state no wonder why the salmon are getting less and less because of jackass lije them runing your stuff down their wgen god was passing out brains they thought he said trains and didnt want any
