DN still holds out hope for season here

Recreational salmon fishermen will again plunk their lines in the waters off much of the California coast this year after a two-year break because of a decline in the number of fish returning to the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta.
But not in Del Norte County, although there’s still hope for some fishing here later in the year.
The short sport season that begins Saturday south of Humboldt Bay is currently scheduled to last only through the month of April, a short respite for a struggling industry.
A spawning stream built by the state near the Warm Springs Dam in Geyserville should serve as a model to communities throughout California looking to restore steelhead trout and coho and chinook salmon populations, fishery advocates say.
