 California And Beyond: Year Around Waters, Good Or Bad?
Posted by troutkind on Thursday, February 22 @ 07:40:38 PST
Fishing regulations here in California have taken a little change this year. Ca DFG has opened several waters in northern California to year around fishing starting this March 1st. Many of these waters I have fished for years, and one is a place that is truly special to me. With this ruling I have mixed feelings. The one special place is a relatively small spring creek, with only about 3 miles of fishable public water. There is some controversy from a local private ranch and some other local guides about the ruling. The other waters are mostly tailwaters and have tributaries that the fish can migrate to if the pressure gets to much. I think that having fishing seasons is undeniably beneficial to the fishery. But at the same time I find myself excited about fishing this water in the middle of winter.
Having not been around waters that offer year round fishing I was just wondering what people thought/know about it, especially in relatively small waters.

by WestlakeDave on Thursday, February 22 @ 08:42:10 PST | | Hoo Boy! This is really a "can of worms" isn't it? I too am excited about year round fishing, however when the arguments of the private fish ranch owners are read (people who are respected), and when stories about fishermen tramping through redds where trout/steelhead are spawning are seen, it gives one pause. In Southern California we have another difficult aspect of this "fish every day" regulation: low preciptitation means thin water which leads to increased stress on the trout. My personal solution is to fish only on big waters (the Kern, the Kings, the Lower Owens), and stay away from the small streams as if the previous fishing regulations were still in place. And, of course, continue to practice CPR (catch, photograph, release) on all fish I bring to net with barbless hooks. |

I know how you feel there are a few places in Oregon that need to close some streams for a couple years because there isn't anymore fish in them because people fish it so heavy. And plus, some people take the 8 inch minimum for trout too serious, Let them grow up. |

One of the reasons is due to the fact you have to walk a bit to get to the fish. Most people are not willing to do that. To me, the biggest threat are the HydroElectric companies & the farmers that want to control the waterways. |
