Sturgeon, Abalone, Steelhead, Spiny Lobster, Klamath-Trinity Salmon Reports Cards for 2008 Now

The Department of Fish and Game (DFG) reminds anglers they are
required to return their 2008 Fishing Report and Restoration Cards
by Jan. 31.  Information collected from report cards provides DFG
with data to monitor and manage California’s fisheries. Report
cards are due for Sturgeon, Abalone, Steelhead, Spiny Lobster and
Klamath-Trinity Salmon fisheries.

Anglers are requested to review their cards carefully and
complete the information as accurately as possible. Further license
information on the report cards can be found at here.

The Steelhead Fishing Report and Restoration Card is a fishing
report as well as a catch report – steelhead anglers record where
and when they fished, even if no fish were caught on a given trip.
All cards should be returned, regardless of whether or not the
angler fished for steelhead. Those who did not fish for steelhead
in 2008 are asked to write “did not fish” on the card.

Additional information (including FAQs) is available on DFG’s
Steelhead Fishing Report and Restoration Card Program Web page:
www.dfg.ca.gov/fish/Fishing/Monitoring/SHRC.
Available also on the Web page is a report on the program since
1993. The report includes an overview of steelhead biology and
state-wide status, projects funded with steelhead angler dollars,
angling data and monthly angling effort and monthly catch for a
majority of California’s streams. Anglers can also request a copy
be mailed to them when they return their Steelhead Fishing Report
and Restoration Card.
