Now that it’s November, ice has formed on the Kuskokwim, and we have some preliminary salmon data to review, we thought we’d share a little bit about the 2022 salmon season.
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.
