Thursday on Fish Talk, we talked about the process that the Kuskokwim co-managers think through when they consider opening the Kuskokwim during this season's low king salmon run. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the Kuskokwim River Inter-Tribal Fisheries Commission are co-managing the Kuskokwim from the river’s mouth to Aniak.
