Just as the state is finalizing the number of chinook salmon that can be caught in the Klamath River this fall, local leaders have launched a campaign to spread the word about the river’s likely abundance of salmon for anglers. Hanson, who spoke about the river’s potential for anglers at a Klamath chamber meeting in May, said Thursday that the California Fish and Game Commission has approved the requested allocations. The commission has approved a catch allotment of 22,500 fall chinook salmon, and 11,250 of those would go to sport anglers in the Klamath below Weitchipec. In-river fishing restrictions that persist throughout the state reflect the Central Valley fall chinook fishery collapse that closed ocean salmon fishing coast-wide to protect that stock.
