Salmon rivers finishing strong
The salmon season is drawing to a rapid close, but the fish are in, and things should only get better! Salmon action on all three rivers, the Feather, American and now the Mokelumne is in full swing. Despite the full closure of the Sacramento River, and the current low flows on the Feather, anglers are now enjoying some of the best action of the season. … On an interesting note, the San Joaquin River Restoration Program set a record this year with 448 adult spring-run Chinook returning to the system. This is the highest number of captured returns since action began in 2014 and is a testament to the potential success of well-managed restoration programs.
