To protect chinook salmon stocks, state fisheries managers have announced upcoming salmon gillnet fishing closures and restrictions for portions of the Kuskokwim River drainage.
The set and drift gillnet schedule for the first half of June is nearly identical to what was seen in 2023.
Fishing will open 24 hours a day beginning June 12.
Ice jams on the Kuskokwim River flooded Red Devil and Crooked Creek over the weekend. By Monday morning, the jams may be backing high water up into Napaimute as the ice front reaches Aniak.
The openings are on July 9, 10, and 16.
