There has been a salmon derby among the beach houses north of the Des Moines marina every Labor Day week-end since 1945. So I would guess that it has never been closed in September. (?) Is area 11 closed to all fishing or just salmon? We could have a sand dab derby. Or better yet; a dog fish derby. If we fished for dog fish, could we be ticketed for fishing for salmon?
