Fall River inquiry

[StevenB]

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:

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)
