The California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) has announced that the main unit of the Grizzly Island Wildlife Area has reopened to hunting on regularly scheduled shoot days and fishing in designated areas.

The popular Solano County wildlife area was closed part of last week to help extinguish a long-smoldering fire. Fishing this time of year on the wildlife area is available from Parking Lot 6 to the salinity gates on Montezuma Slough only. Hunting is restricted to Wednesdays, Saturdays and Sundays.
