Message from the Board of Directors - June 2025

Greetings Rooster Tails!

Hello everyone. Hopefully you've been out on the water. This summer will present us with some challenges for fishing but hopefully we can navigate them together. We are trying to present information on where and how to catch fish in these challenging times as well as where and how to deal with the new mussel requirements. Between the new mussel regulations and limited salmon seasons things are going to be challenging. Capt. Curly will be sharing with us his efforts at fishing for salmon in these new seasons. Please join us on the 20th!

As we navigate the golden mussel restrictions there continue to be opportunities for those who keep their boats clean and dry and are willing to travel a little. Unfortunately some of the sponsored events have been cancelled due to the logistic of decontaminate/inspection for larger numbers of boats. The Kokanee Power Whiskeytown event was scheduled for this weekend but was cancelled due to issues.

with staffing for inspections. There are upper elevation lakes that are not having restrictions as the golden mussel cannot survive the winter water temperatures. Prospects for the ocean and river salmon seasons have anglers excited about the chance to catch and keep a salmon for the first time in three years.
