If you really want to fish go to Idaho, Wyoming, Montana, Utah--California is dead for fishing.
"In 2002, 800,000 natural and hatchery-raised chinook made their way back up the Sacramento River. Last year, about 40,000 returned, a third of the number state biologists predicted, Sydeman said.
But this year, the fishery council lifted the ban after federal biologists predicted a larger salmon run of about 245,000, 65,000 above the threshold at which they allow a fishing season.
While the recreational season was allowed to open in April and extends through Sept. 5, commercial fishermen were granted only the much briefer season."
This is another way government policies have killed a portion of the economy. Now real fishermen will go to others States. We deserve better. Yet, little by little, industry by industry, government is telling Californians to leave and folks from other States not to come, even as tourists.
This article is not about fish, it is about the destruction of the California economy.
