I heard through the grapevine the fish & game folks were going to keep Fall River open all year to all fishing. Anyone know the time line? (when/what/who/etc.)

DFW is proposing sweeping changes to the Trout Regs under the "Inland Trout Angling Regulation Simplification"
plan
https://wildlife.ca.gov/Fishing/Inla...Simplification
I am not convinced that it is really a "Simplification" because it seems to me that it increases the number of different regulations
(such as 10 different season start and end dates depending on what water you are talking about)
I have not kept up with the status of the proposed changes, maybe someone else knows?
"edit -- this article says they have approved the changes:
https://www.redding.com/story/sports/2020/10/30/cdfw-fishing-regulations-may-easier-read-next-year-here-why/6047903002/"
Also just a quick looks suggests that the proposed season for Fall River is
"Saturday preceding Memorial Day through September 30"
so maybe this is not what you are hearing about?
edit- oops, sorry mis-read new "simpler" regs
looks like Fall River will be open year-round
just with separate take rules
Saturday preceding Memorial Day through September 30 2 trout, artificial lures (F3)
October 1 through the Friday preceding Memorial Day 0 trout, artificial lures with barbless hooks (I6)
