Not if the river is closed, many rivers have restrictions on Salmon fishing right now but most of these are still open for fishing. You would want to read the emergency rule change for the river you want to fish.

Check the emergency rules because all the rivers differ. Most are closed to Salmon but is still open for Steelhead.
Fishing isn't a hobby, It isn't for fun. Fishing is life.
