Aside from a possible brief opening to harvest summer chum, 2025 will be the sixth consecutive year of total salmon fishing closures on the Yukon River.

The management strategy for waters within the Yukon Delta National Wildlife Refuge (YDNWR) is nearly identical to that seen in 2024. Through mid-June, that will include three set net-only opportunities followed by a pair of drift and/or set gillnet openers.
