Kuskokwim River Inter-Tribal Fish Commission

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.

In its recent meeting, the Kuskokwim River Salmon Management Working Group approved a letter requesting an expanded conservation zone off-limits to trawling.

Salmon fishing with gillnets will open on the lower river for 12 hours on June 22, while gillnet fishing between the Kalskag Line and Aniak Box will open 24/7 starting the same day.
