Is recreational Salmon fishing still LEGAL in the state of California ?

I know there is a ban on COMMERCIAL Salmon fishing in California and Oregon from what I have heard.

Please advise.
Thank you in advance.

Ocean salmon season never opened this year. Don't know about rivers.

Salmon fishing is legal only in a very few rivers in northern Ca. The rest of the state is closed to salmon fishing . Jack

Only the sacramento is open and I think only in certain areas? I am not 100% just give fish and game a call.

Went across the Knights landing bridge on the way home from crushing the Mallards this weekend. The boys are lined up in there boats tied to each basically making a solid band of boats across the Sac, Crazy!!!
