Refresher on the regulation. Remember the depth restriction and sub limits.

Thanks for that Brian.  Hopefully people that are new or unsure about the regulations will read this so we won't have people constantly asking over the radio what the size limit is or how many you can keep, etc.

Thanks Brian. Good stuff.

I attached the Mendocino Area Regs PDF for easy access. Very helpful!

I'm looking for info on the camping arrangements. My understanding is that there is an overflow area with room to pitch a tent for those that don't have a site. I assume all the camp sites are reserved. I haven't heard the campground next door mentioned. Is that one still an option? Thanks

Yes, there is a great overflow area if you want to pitch a tent or just about any other type of camping arrangement.  The other campground is Schooners.  It's a bit up the river, but easy walk.  It's not in the thick of the whole Albion experience, a bit more laid back and the weather even that little bit is usually less wind and more sun.  It's also fairly easy to tie up the kayak right there and launch from the river rather than at the main boat launch area where the current can be a bit more.  You do want to time the tides though, for getting in and out if you choose Schooners, just to make it a bit easier. 

Looking forward to seeing you again!!!

I will print this up on 11X17 and laminate; post at fish cleaning station, bathroom, and launch ramp. I'll be sure to OK it with office first. If not it will be hanging on front of my trailer.

It's time to relax!
