Will you eat Salmon at your Fourth of July barbecue? How much will you pay for it? Will you even be able to find it?

TOP PICKS KLAMATH RIVER, Klamath Glen - Anglers found the best Salmon Fishing so far this Season on the lower Klamath. Some boats scored four Chinooks, mostly at Blake's and Starwin riffles. Big steelhead, including a 17-pounder, were entering the river in increasing numbers, indicating another banner Season. Spinners like the CV-7 in chartreuse and green or in natural were accounting for most of the fish. o anchor up. AMERICAN RIVER - The water is still cold, so the shad bite has been soft on mini-jigs weighted a little more than usual to get them deep in the high flows. But high flows have attracted more fish, including Salmon and striped bass, to enter the American. Remember that starting Tuesday, no Salmon may be kept in Central Valley streams. There likely will be little water left in Folsom for returning Salmon this fall, and what water is available is likely to be too warm for successful spawning. CAMANCHE LAKE - Catfish anglers did well; bass anglers not bad. Trout trollers worked the main lake, pulling Rapalas 20 to 30 feet down. Trout to 8 pounds were caught by trollers. Other productive lures: Apexes, Ex-Cel spoons and hoochies behind a dodger. Lake managers seek volunteers to help distribute the annual plant of Florida largemouths. You'll need to provide the boat. EMERYVILLE - The fleet got into halibut, striped bass and rockfish, but the big bite was at Mel's Reef with the rest of the fishermen in North America. Capt. Jay ...

NORTH COAST RIVERS Most North Coast rivers are either closed or don't have enough flow to attract runs of Salmon and steelhead in the summer months and are left off the Formcharts this time of year. WON will provide full coverage of all the streams in the area when they are open and Fishing. See also the "Klamath and Trinity" section for more info. ROGUE RIVER: Gold Beach-Down low, the spring Salmon bite is winding down, with just a few showing between Gold Beach and Agness. ROGUE RIVER: Shady Cove-The flows just dropped in the upper river and anglers started seeing a few springers on plugs near Shady Cove. ODFW enacted an emergency order on May 28 to postpone the June 1 Season opener for the take of wild, non-finclipped Chinook until July 12.Fly anglers are getting geared up for the Salmon fly hatch, which should come off any day. When it happens, the trout will go crazy. RUSSIAN RIVER: The county opened up the river mouth on Thursday and a big wave of shad flooded the lower river.

Rainbows, cutthroat and the odd steelie have been the bulk of the catch for anglers Fishing Stimulators, nightcrawlers and spinners. Some springers around, but the bite is slow. ROGUE RIVER, Lower " Not much happening here in the river ... most anglers have turned their attentions to ocean Fishing. The fall kings will start poking around in the bay soon.

The federal government, having failed to support Salmon to the point that California's Fishing Season was shut down altogether , may now yank support from fisherfolk. The Office of Management and Budget is requesting that the $170 million put aside as disaster funding for the West Coast Salmon industry be reduced to $100 million to offset the increased cost of the 2010 census. (The Census Bureau had planned to use handheld computers to conduct its 2010 count, but a Florida-based contractor had cost overruns; the bureau will stick with a paper-based census, and taxpayers are stuck with the bill.) West Coast congressfolk on both sides of the aisle criticized the proposal to yank Salmon funding as a solution. "The Fishing community of Oregon is already suffering because of the flawed Bush policies in the Sacramento River basin," wrote Rep. Peter DeFazio (D-Ore.). "They should not have to suffer again because the president has hired people in Florida who can't count. We've been there before." source: The World , California Progress Report , Associated Press ... Source: www.grist.org --- 2 days ago
The dams and aqueducts that shuttle water from California's Sacramento River Delta to the rest of the state will "appreciably increase jeopardy" to Salmon and steelhead in the coming months, U.S. District Judge Oliver Wanger said Friday. But while Wanger agreed with environmentalists that "the three salmonid species are not viable and are all in jeopardy of extinction," he declined to order a short-term remedy. The National Marine Fisheries Service, in response to a successful lawsuit from the green groups, will by March come up with operational changes to California's water-export system that will hopefully be less harmful to fish. In the meantime, greens had asked that Wanger order an immediate cutback in agricultural water diversion, but he demurred. While waiting for March to roll around, green groups and water agencies will continue discussions on how to balance fish livelihood and irrigation needs. sources: Los Angeles Times , Contra Costa Times , San Francisco Chronicle , Associated Press , McClatchy Newspapers see also, in Grist: This year's Salmon Fishing Season canceled in California ...

Extended Fishing report for May 26: NORTH COAST RIVERS Most of the coastal rivers are closed now, and low flow closures come into effect when the flows drop to a certain level. Coastal rivers not listed here fall under those categories. ROGUE RIVER " Spring Chinook are still trickling into the lower river at places like Elephant Rock, John's Hole, the Birthday Hole, Claybanks, Lobster Creek and Agness, but it's been slow overall. Upriver, the counts over Gold Ray Dam have not been impressive, pointing to yet another lackluster Season at the top of the Rogue as well. RUSSIAN RIVER " The mouth of the river opened up just in time for the holiday weekend and that brought a few fresh pods of shad into the system. Anglers Fishing in the mornings at Johnson's and Monte Rio found up to 10 fish per rod on the best days. Not hot action, but certainly better than it has been. TRINITY/KLAMATH RIVERS KLAMATH RIVER " Cold weather put the Salmon fly hatch even further behind schedule than it already was, and trout Fishing was slow, according to Al Kutzkey of Kutzkey's Guide Service. Hopefully, warm weather will return and get the hatch of the big bugs underway. But, it's likely to be another week or two. TRINITY RIVER " The release at Lewiston will drop to 2,000 cfs this week, and plateau at that level until early July. Although still high, the river is fishable, but few Salmon have reached the upper parts of the river as yet. A few Salmon were being ... Source: www.idahostatesman.com --- 42 days ago
I doubt that we're in prime Fishing Season yet on the Little Salmon, but the way this crazy spring has been going, it's a roll of the dice. The Salmon are returning to the hatchery, and anglers had caught 50 fish through last weekend. Not exactly rocking, but if you know your Salmon, you know they go from a trickle to a wave in a short amount of time. I think there's going to be a solid enough run that we will get at least a couple weeks of good Fishing. But when that Fishing will start is anyone's guess, and it's better to be there seeing for yourself than hearing about it later. If you're waiting for the fish to arrive, your wait is over. They're arriving, and numbers should start zooming up soon. Be prepared for high water; and if the chinook start hitting, expect crowds. Riggins has cell phone service now, so word is going to travel fast. So you have to ask yourself, do I want to be the one waiting for the phone call that Fishing turned hot, or the one making it? ...

Crabbing is open Wednesdays through Saturdays. Catch-and-release Fishing for sea-run cutthroat trout is open year-round and typically is good during the summer - it's best to use a single barbless hook to facilitate release. Salmon Season is open during August and September, when all chinook must be released, and again January through April, when marked hatchery chinook can be kept. ...

California's Salmon are teetering on the edge of extinction and its Salmon Fishing industry is facing economic devastation. For the first time ever, the state has closed its Salmon Season marking another chapter in the tug of war between water for the environment and water for agriculture and cities. Our new report says that providing a more reliable water supply for the San Francisco Bay Delta Estuary could save the fish and help ensure adequate water for farms and cities, too. For decades, California has struggled to protect its fisheries while providing ever more water for agriculture and cities. Yet efforts to address each crisis have led to the downward spiral of the San Francisco Bay Delta ecosystem and the state's once flourishing Fishing industry. Policymakers need to create a stable water supply Our report, Finding the Balance: A Vision for Water Supply and Environmental Reliability in California , outlines steps that state and federal leaders must take to end a vicious cycle of water shortages and environmental near-disasters, and instead create a stable and reliable water supply. The report's recommendations include: provide adequate freshwater flows to restore fisheries and habitat in the Bay-Delta, and take into account the looming effects of global warming in water levels; guarantee stable and secure funding so key restoration projects are fully executed; create financial incentives that will encourage more water ...

Be sure to check the Michigan Fishing Guide for new minimum size limits and possession limits. SOUTHEAST LOWER PENINSULA Lake Erie: Water levels were up and muddy so Fishing on the big lake has been tough.

I was appalled and shocked to read that President Bush is proposing to take $70 million from the $180 million Salmon disaster relief funds included in the farm bill to pay for the census. My family is supported by commercial Fishing, and following a poor dungeness crab Season, fisherman along the West Coast are really hurting financially. Many captains can’t afford to make their boat payments, let alone their mortgages and skyrocketing fuel prices . Taking money from Salmon fisherman equates to taking money from food stamps programs to fund the census. People’s livelihoods are at stake, and West Coast representatives and governors are reeling at Bush’s suggestion. Why do we need more money for the census? The money is needed because of a failed contract with the Harris Corporation for the 2010 counts. The Census Bureau had planned to use handheld computers, but the Florida-based contractor went over budget. Now, we have to return to a paper-based census, which will cost taxpayers more money. Instead of trying to take money from fisherman to pay for a failed contract, shouldn’t we reevaluate the census itself? Is it really necessary to complete this population count every ten years? Could we modify the count to every 15 or 20 years? West Coast governors and congress men/women are upset at Bush’s proposal. In an angry letter to the president , Democrats Mike Thompson, Peter DeFazio, Darlene Hooley, Anna Eshoo, Jim McDermott, Brian B ...
