Like howsabout the authorities agree to close it for 3 years then review the progress. The north and south forks of the Salmon River here in Siskiyou County have been closed to all fishing from March 'til November since about 1971. That's a good long stretch. And so you now get only four months of fishing per year there. I met a guy who bought a little cabin on the bank of the north fork in 1970 , about 8 months before the restrictions were placed - Ouch. I'm not sure they even bother to re-examine data there anymore. That “indefinitely” sounds so ugly and problematic.
