Salmon season is expected to be better this year, due rain and runoff during recent years along with improved hatchery release practices. The California Department of Fish and Wildlife has announced that ocean salmon season will open provisionally on April 4 from Southern California to Pigeon Point South of Half Moon bay. Half Moon Bay and other points north will open April 11. The Pacific Fisheries Management Council will make final decisions on season duration in an early-April meeting. Commercial salmon fishing is scheduled to start in May.
