Exactly what are the regulations for Salmon on the American, Feather, and Sac this year? Anyone know? American is closed to fishing from the powerlines at Ancil upstream until 1/1 I'm pretty sure. I've heard it's open downstream? Knights landing upstream is open? What about the Feather?

Wow! Thanks Mrs. Fins... for the answers and the link! Those regs remind of the crazy duck/goose season regs... shoot this, can't shoot that, can shoot this now, can't shoot it later, can only shoot the male of the species and take one... you get the idea. I think I better get one of those things quarterbacks use on their wrist to write and remember plays they run! :rolleyes:
