The Department of Fish and Game (DFG) will open Grizzly
Island Wildlife Area from Saturday, Sept. 23, 2006 through Monday, Oct.
9, 2006 for general public use. This will be a great time to do some
nature viewing, fishing, hiking, dog training or pre-season waterfowl
scouting. All visitors must stop at the Visitor Registration Booth prior
to entering the wildlife area to obtain a permit.
DFG also would like to encourage people to take advantage of the
second Free Fishing Day of this year, which is Saturday, Sept. 23.
Beginning Oct.10, the Grizzly Island Wildlife Area will be closed to
all general public use during waterfowl season, and will reopen again on
Feb. 5, 2007. During this period, as an alternative to Grizzly Island,
DFG suggests visiting the following areas also located within the Suisun
Marsh for public uses such as fishing, hiking, nature viewing and dog
training:
 | Hill Slough Wildlife Area: Located on Grizzly Island Road, right
off of Highway 12 in Suisun City, prior to the one-lane bridge. |
| Peytonia Slough Ecological Reserve: Located at the foot of Kellogg
Street in Suisun City, near the Marina and the Suisun Wildlife
Rehabilitation Center. |
| Belden’s Landing Fishing Access and Boat Launch Ramp: Located on
Grizzly Island Road. |
The Grizzly Island Wildlife Area will allow fishing during waterfowl
season along Montezuma Slough, from parking lot 6 to the control gates
at Roaring River, between Sunrise and sunset.
For more information, please call Grizzly Island Wildlife Area at
