Kuskokwim River fishermen are urging state fishery managers to open the upper river to silver salmon fishing
Kuskokwim River fishermen are urging state fishery managers to open the upper river to silver salmon fishing. On Wednesday, for the first time ever, the state closed the entire Kuskokwim and most of its tributaries to nearly all subsistence fishing to conserve the species. State data indicates the run is on track to be the lowest ever, and is unlikely to meet state escapement goals for silvers reaching their spawning grounds.
