Chinook runs have declined all around the state. One of the areas particularly hard-hit by the low returns is the Chignik River. The Alaska Department of Fish and Game and the U.S. Department of Fish and Wildlife plan to launch a three-year research project to find out why the Chignik River’s Chinook run has declined.
Fish and Game Management Biologist Reid Johnson said now, the holdup is funding.
“It’s a partnership between the US fish and wildlife service as well as the Chignik Inter-tribal Coalition,” he said. “There were a few different questions we’re going to try to answer with that project, but a proposal has been submitted and we won’t know about funding until next year.”

The Naknek-Kvichak’s run is returning strong and steady.
Harmony Wayner, who set nets on Naknek Point, said the weather hasn’t worked in their favor yet.
“We re waiting for the wind to switch, the west wind brings fish into Naknek set net sites,” she said. “The east wind isn’t too good for our site at Naknek Point, hopefully it warms up and we get fish and meet our goal.”
Wayner noted that over the past few summers, warmer waters have made the fish slower and more sluggish. But with colder temps this season, that hasn’t been the case.
