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.

The decision is based on decent looking chum numbers and comes as the first coho begin to enter the river.

With the chinook run nearly wrapped up and berry season around the corner, the set and drift gillnet openers are another opportunity to harvest abundant sockeye.
