This summary provides an overview of the 2023 season, highlighting the Kuskokwim River Inter-Tribal Fish Commission (KRITFC) fisheries management and conservation efforts.
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.
