Interesting that they did not keep in open for pure sport fishing.

SACRAMENTO (CBS13) -- The State Department of Fish and Game is siding
with federal officials on an all-out salmon ban off the coast of
California.
You may remember on Thursday, the Pacific Fishery Management Council
halted the salmon fishing season in federal waters.
Here in California, an estimated $200 million, along with some 2,000
jobs are expected to be lost because of this.
There was a 4-0 vote to ban all salmon fishing from the coastline to
three miles out. Right now, the decision does not include fishing in
local rivers or the Delta. A decision on fishing in those areas will
be made on May 9th.
