Salmon and Water Groups Respond to Closure of California Commercial Salmon Fishing for Third Year

“This marks the third year in a row of no commercial fishing allocation in California and the state’s first recreational salmon season since 2022.”

Commercial salmon season in California is closed for the third year in a row. A very limited ocean recreational fishing season will be allowed. The California Fish and Game Commission will decide in May whether or not there will be a season in the Central Valley rivers this year. This salmon was caught on the Sacramento River in the city of Sacramento when the season was still open. Photo by Dan Bacher.
