The entire Kuskokwim River will open full-time to subsistence fishing with gillnets beginning at 12:01 a.m. on July 31. At that time, gillnet restrictions on the river will be liberalized to include any size mesh, and nets can stretch up to 50 fathoms in length.
Data from the Alaska Department of Fish and Game shows that king, chum, and sockeye salmon have almost entirely passed Bethel, and coho is now the dominant salmon species in the lower Kuskokwim.
The Yukon Delta National Wildlife Refuge, in consultation with the Kuskokwim River Inter-Tribal Fish Commission, instated gillnet restrictions on June 1 to conserve king salmon. As the summer progressed, conservation concerns extended to the river’s record low chum salmon run.
