Anglers and boaters can look forward to statewide fishing forecasts for fresh and saltwater which will be updated monthly. Other options include trout stocking information and directions to sites, stream closure information, public health advisories for fish consumption, fresh and saltwater fishing regulations, urban and family fishing opportunities, barrier free fishing and boat launching information, what's new in sport fishing, and clean vessel pump-out sites. The service will also provide fishing license information including a number to call for credit card orders, and by entering a zip code, the six closest locations at which to purchase a license. For Department of Fish and Game, the service provides callers easy access to information at one central number, saving staff and caller time. This will be a great opportunity for anglers to get first hand information about California fishing opportunities.
Callers can select from nine options and choose the information they want by the touch of a number.
In time, Department of Fish and Game looks to enhance the service with automatic connections for licenses and other services offered by the department. 9th Street Sacramento, Ca 95814 Send comments to webmaster.
