This statement is what is not clear,"From Porcupine Reservoir upstream to the
headwaters.
• CLOSED Aug. 15 through 6 a.m. on the
last Saturday of September. "
If you read that statement alone, it sounds like the entire lake is closed to fishing. And it does say the lake and the river, "From Porcupine Reservoir upstream to the headwaters." Of course we know they are referring to the salmon and the river above the lake with those dates but it is far from clear, IMO. What it should say is, CLOSED Aug. 15 through 6 a.m. on the last Saturday of September, to the possession of red salmon. That is what it use to say. Maybe you are thinking they are saying just upstream from the lake but the way I read it, they are including the lake with that statement. I did call the DWR about this but the lady I spoke with said she was not sure and said I should contact Chris Penne, which I did. I will post what he says. I know when you look at just porcupine it only has the limits and to see east fork little bear river and that were it say closed but the wording could be better.
