The North Pacific Fishery Management Council will next discuss chum salmon bycatch at a special meeting in February 2025. Here is what you need to know to engage.
After the next 36 hour fishing opportunity, YDNWR and KRITFC will rescind all previous fishing restrictions announced for 2024, returning management of the River to the State of Alaska and ADF&G.
The Yukon Delta National Wildlife Refuge (YDNWR) In-Season Manager, hereby announces two gillnet and one rod and reel fishing opportunity for federally qualified subsistence users.
The Yukon Delta National Wildlife Refuge (YDNWR) Manager, as In-Season Manager, announces a gillnet fishing opportunity for Federally qualified subsistence users.
Pursuant to authority delegated by the Federal Subsistence Board, the Yukon Delta National Wildlife Refuge (YDNWR) Manager, as In-Season Manager, hereby announces five gillnet fishing opportunities for Federally qualified subsistence users within the Federal waters of the YDNWR in the Kuskokwim River mainstem.
After consultation and consensus with KRITFC’s In-Season Managers, the Yukon Delta NWR Federal In-Season Manager announced the following subsistence fishing opportunities via emergency special action (ESA) 3-KS-05-22. Ultimately, our goal is balancing salmon conservation for future generations with our current needs for fish.
Our Federal-Tribal management team decided on another Federal subsistence fishing opportunity on Wednesday, June 22, 2022, from 6:00am to 6:00pm, using the same gear restrictions as previous harvest opportunities. In addition, the line at the Kalskag bluffs will open on June 22, 2022, at 12:01am, for fishing at any time with the same Federal gear restrictions.
In 2021, KRITFC and Orutsararmiut Native Council Fisheries, in collaboration with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and independent contractors, collected and processed data to produce in-season subsistence salmon harvest and effort estimates from a lower river portion of the mainstem Kuskokwim River.
