I agree, if they are gonna keep that portion of the creek/river closed it should be listed in the regulations as such. Because in my view once the creek has hit the river, it is now a part of the river. Right? Rivers don't go into creeks, do they?
Saying it is closed to protect hatchery stocks? That is the exact type of B.S. I would expect out of them! It is also funny that you can fish above where the hatchery stream goes in all the way up to the highway 101 bridge for kings. Does that make any sense? Thanks for keeping us posted grumpyr.
