Title

Proposed Amendments to 2023-2024 Klamath River Basin Sport Fishing Regulations, Title 14, California Code of Regulations

Description

The California Fish and Game Commission proposes to amend Klamath River fall Chinook salmon (KRFC) sport fishing regulations in the Klamath River Basin as set forth in Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations (CCR). The current sport fishing regulations, Section 7.40, Title 14, CCR, allow for salmon fishing in the Klamath and Trinity rivers. Each year the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (Department) evaluates the potential need to amend the existing KRFC bag and possession limits to align with management goals. Any proposed changes to the salmon fishing regulations are presented to the Commission for consideration. This project therefore proposes to potentially amend the daily bag and possession limits for adult KRFC, increase or decrease the size limit for adult KRFC, or close all KRFC fishing in the Klamath and and Trinity Rivers to maintain consistency with the Department's mission to manage California's diverse fisheries resources for their ecological value, their use, and for the public's enjoyment.
