Salmon season threatened

A suggestion from the Department of Fish and Game to help save the Klamath salmon fishery, which was threatened from the low water disaster in the river in 2002, hit the news this week with a scream. It was suggested that the entire coastal salmon fishery be closed this year to protect the scattered Klamath salmon which roam up and down the coast before returning to spawn in the fall. Fishermen all over are up in arms. Since most coastal streams had a bumper crop of salmon, why should everyone suffer because of the die off in 2002 due to low water (a man made problem)? Fishermen all over the state are urged to contact their local politicians and have the DFG reconsider. I personally do not think they will close the season.
