Fishing News

The purpose of the weekly fisheries update is to provide the reader with an overall summary of the status of subsistence related fisheries throughout the state of Alaska.  The target audience is the Federal Subsistence Board and its Staff Committee.  The report was compiled with the assistance of the Federal in-season managers and OSM staff that provided weekly updated information by the close of business on Friday of the reporting week.  My goal is to have the report sent by the close of business the following Monday.  Web links have been included to provide additional information.  You may obtain additional information on a fishery of particular interest by contacting the in-season manager, provided contacts, follow the provided web links, or contact George Pappas.

Districts Affected: Yukon Area​Fall Season AssessmentThe 2017 fall chum salmon inseason projection is for a run size greater than 2 million fish. This level of abundance is sufficient to provide for escapement, subsistence harvest, with a surplus available for commercial and personal use purposes. The estimated fall chum salmon run size through September 4 (based on the mainstem sonar near Pilot Station and the downstream harvest) is estimated to be 2,258,000 fish, which is above the historical median of 786,000 fish for that date.
