<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">The Junction City Weir is a collaborative project between the CA Dept Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) and Hoopa Valley Tribal Fisheries. Junction City Weir is the initial tagging component
of an annual single mark recapture Spring run Chinook population estimate, and has been installed and operated each year since 1980, with the exceptions of 1983 and 1995. The data collected will be used after the season is over, in January 2022, to determine
the 2021 Spring run Chinook run size estimate. Same-season return of fish tags by anglers to the CDFW address imprinted on each tag is an important part of the estimates, as it allows us to produce an accurate harvest estimate. I have included a form to
use for tag return should you be among the lucky…and the supplemental regulations book in case you haven’t had a chance to look at it.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
