Lower Trinity Hoopa Access?

Any resolution on this issue?

I have fished the rodeo grounds and behind the casino in recent weeks and had no problems... Heard that certain access points have closure signage and that no official resolution has been reached.

As of today, there is no official resolution.
Apparently a few bad behaving fisherman upset the tribe by being disrespectful to tribal fisheries people.
Officially only tribal members are allowed to fish the river on the reservation, however, I think that the idea is to limit the guides and boats launched from Tish Tang. Also, there will probably be a charge to launch a boat on the river, and maybe other regs coming.
My advice is to go to the Tribal offices and ask about the Tribe's policies for non tribal members, and to behave respectfully when fishing on the reservation (especially when dealing with fishery officials or fish counters).
I believe that some official resolution will come soon, and new rules to follow.
Also, the water temps are very warm now in the Trinity, and I will not fish until it cools down due to the higher mortality of hooked fish in the warm water.
