Chico or John's Creek reports??

Post by Bay wolf » Mon Oct 10, 2016 8:26 am

Went out to John's Creek last week of Sept. Saw some jumpers way out but they looked to be silvers. No sign of any fish entering the creek.

Anybody been out lately?

Should be starting to arrive with this rain we had.

Went yesterday...

Very few fish...

I was told by a local guy that the tribes have been allowed to net out front of John's creek next year! If this is true, say good-by to another fun fishery.

im looking at the regs and it states "Chico and Gorst Creeks Mouths Closures: All waters within channels created by exposed tidelands are CLOSED to fishing for SALMON"

i use to fish chico a lot when i was younger but havent tried in many years.

Yes, your correct. But I don't think that's new. Everyone fishes the salt out front or to the side. If I remember correctly, there is a marker showing the closed area. You can't fish "in the creek".

Anybody got any updates on this. People should be fishing Chico now.
