This section of the Sacramento River is part of the only stretch of river in the Sacramento Valley where fall salmon fishing will be allowed. Under Department of Fish and Game rules, no Chinook are allowed to be kept anywhere on the Sacramento and San Joaquin rivers or any of their tributaries, including the American and Feather rivers. The only exception is from Nov. 1 to Dec. 31 in the Sacramento River between the Red Bluff Diversion Dam and Knights Landing for a one-salmon bag and possession limit.
