Fall-run Chinook Salmon fisheries are currently open in several rivers in the Central Valley, and the California Department of Fish and Wildlife is reminding anglers to be aware of regulations regarding possession of spring-run Chinook salmon, as well as the bag and possession limits specific to the Mokelumne River.
Spring-run Chinook salmon are protected by both the state and federal Endangered Species Acts.
The largest population occurs in the Feather River where the Feather River Hatchery has a tagging program for this protected run.
Spring-run Chinook salmon are tagged and released in the low-flow channel of the Feather River to allow them the opportunity to spawn in an area of the river that is closed to fishing.
However, they sometimes stray from the closed section of the river and are subsequently caught and kept by anglers.
CDFW asks anglers to return any tagged spring-run Chinook Salmon to the river.
The bag limit for fall-run Chinook salmon on the Mokelumne River is two fish, and the possession limit is four fish, as per the 2018-2019 Freshwater Sport Fishing Regulations.
The bag limit for fall-run Chinook salmon on the American, Feather and Sacramento rivers is one fish, and the possession limit is two fish, as per the 2018-2019 Supplement Sport Fishing Regulations.

FORT BRAGG, Calif. – The Cal Fire Mendocino Unit is preparing for the fall season at Jackson Demonstration State Forest, or JDSF, by announcing scheduled closures of seasonal campgrounds, trails and firewood areas.
Campground closure: The seasonal closure of JDSF Camp One, Dunlap and Horse campgrounds are scheduled for Monday, Oct. 1. Big River campground will remain open until which time it is deemed necessary to close.
Trail closure: Beginning Oct. 15, the “Trestle Trail” between Camp 8 and JDSF Road 1070 will be closed to mushroom gathering and other recreational activities. This trail is closed (October to May) as a precautionary measure in an attempt to slow the spread of Phytophthora
ramorum, the invasive pathogen that causes sudden oak death.
Firewood area closure: The designated areas for firewood cutting will also close on Monday, Oct. 1, or prior to the first significant rain, whichever occurs first. After the closure, all firewood cutting on the Forest is prohibited until otherwise noticed.
Information regarding camping and other recreational activities such as mushroom gathering on JDSF is available at the Cal Fire Fort Bragg office located at 802 North Main Street, Fort Bragg, or by calling 707-964-5674 during the following hours: Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to noon and 1 to 5 p.m.

Multiple uses of JDSF for a wide variety of activities that benefit the public, the economy and natural resources are what our demonstration forests are all about.
