Title: not news, but... -- Salmon fishing closed for California, Oregon
Post by: fisherwithrod on September 22, 2008, 10:39:46 AM
Does anyone know of any updates on the salmon fishing closure in California and Oregon?

Latest headlines that I could find are from April, when the decision was taken to shut down fishing in many areas down south.
E.g. http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2008/04/11/MNO6103NBB.DTL

This has the potential to affect the entire fishery system as far up north as Alaska, as (some) fishermen may move up north for their catch... Anyhow, it is a wake up call that this sort of thing can affect us in the near future...

Don't mean to be redundant on this subject; I checked the archive and also looked at the April/May postings here, but didn't find a good discussion on this topic.
