As California’s ocean salmon season returns, anglers now have a new way to monitor catch progress and stay informed throughout the season. The California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) recently announced the launch of new digital tracking tools designed to provide real-time visibility into both recreational and commercial in-season ocean salmon harvests. Available through CDFW’s Ocean Salmon Fishery Information webpage, the new tools allow anglers to track the number of salmon landed and monitor how much remains under each region’s harvest guideline. The information is intended to help anglers better plan trips while supporting in-season fishery management and sustainable harvest goals.
