The Kuskokwim River Salmon Management Working Group (KRSMWG) held its preseason meeting this past Monday and Tuesday, May 3 and 4, 2021, by teleconference. A quorum was established and held throughout the two-day meeting.
Pursuant to authority delegated by the Federal Subsistence Board, the Yukon Delta National Wildlife Refuge In-Season Manager announces additional fishing opportunities for federally qualified subsistence users only.
Due to low abundance of coho salmon, the YDNWR Manager, after consultation with KRITFC In-Season Managers, determined that federal management is necessary for conservation.
Effective August 7 at 4 pm, ADF&G will close fishing in Kuskokwim River Sections 1-3 to protect coho salmon.
