From an ADF&G press release:

The Chitina Subdistrict will open from 12:01 a.m., Monday, July 25 through 11:59 p.m. Sunday, July 31. In addition, a supplemental harvest of 10 additional sockeye salmon will be allowed for the personal use dip net salmon fishery in the Chitina Subdistrict during this period.

Supplemental permits are incorporated in the Chitina Subdistrict fishery permit and supplemental harvest must be recorded on this permit before leaving the fishing site. The supplemental harvest portion of the permit is valid only if the original permit limit has been harvested.

From a joint press release from the organizations involved:

A new Kenai Peninsula land deal guarantees public access to a popular fishing destination on the Anchor River.

This month The Nature Conservancy transferred 75 acres at the mouth of the Anchor River to the Alaska Department of Natural Resources for the benefit of long-term habitat management. The area has a devoted following among king salmon and steelhead anglers in Southcentral Alaska.

Because of uncertainty about whether the Kenai River's early-run king salmon escapement of 5,300 to 9,000 fish was achieved, the Fish and Game Department will continue to limit some Kenai River king fishing.

All five indicators used to assess the abundance of late-run Kenai kings indicate a run well below average. All department assessment methods indicate the late run is similar to the runs of 2009 and 2010.

From an ADF&G press release:

The Chitina Subdistrict will open from noon on Tuesday, July 19, through 11:59 p.m., Sunday, July 24. There will be no supplemental harvest during this fishing period.

From an ADF&G press release:

The use of bait and/or treble hooks will be prohibited in the Anchor River.

In addition, the closure to all fishing of the marine waters adjacent to the Anchor River, two miles north and south of the Anchor River mouth and one mile offshore, will be extended through July.

From an ADF&G press release:

As of June 27, three out of the four measures used to assess the abundance of early-run king salmon in the Kenai River indicate that the run is well below average.

The run appears to be similar to those of 2009 and 2010, which produced escapements estimated to be near the lower bound of the optimal escapement goal of 5,300 to 9,000 early-run kings.

Because of the doubt about whether the minimum escapement of 5,300 fish will be achieved, the department will reduce the catch of early-run kings in portions of the river.

From an ADF&G press release:

The bag and possession limits for king salmon 20 inches or longer in the Nushagak-Mulchatna River drainage are reduced from two a day, only one of which may be longer than 28 inches, to one a day.

The limit for king salmon less than 20 inches remains at five a day, five in possession, with no annual limit. These restrictions are effective at 12:01 a.m., Friday, June 24.

From a DF&G press release:

On June 7, the Alaska Department of Fish and Game was alerted to the sighting of a small northern pike in Cheney Lake. Department staff verified the presence of pike in Cheney and over the next two days used gillnets to catch two pike, each about 18 inches long.

Nets were placed in the lake every day last week and no more pike have been seen or caught. This October, immediately before freeze-up, an intensive netting program will be conducted.

Emergency orders have been issued to increase the bag and possession limit of sockeye salmon in the northern waters of Resurrection Bay beginning Saturday, June 18, at 12:01 a.m., through Sunday, July 31. In the marine waters north of a line from Caines Head to the north point of Thumb Cove, the limits for sockeyes are 12
a day and 12 in possession.

In the fresh waters of the Resurrection River drainage downstream of the Seward Highway and Nash Road, the limits for sockeyes are six a day and six in possession.

The bag and possession limit for salmon, other than kings, 20 inches or longer in the Afognak River drainage is increased to 10 a day, 10 in possession, of
which no more than five may be pink salmon, chum salmon or coho salmon.

This emergency order, intended to provide additional sport harvest opportunity for sockeyes, will be in effect beginning 12:01 a.m. Wednesday, June 15.

The escapement goal for sockeyes into the Afognak River drainage is 20,000 to 50,000 fish. As of June 12, the weir count had exceeded 25,000 sockeyes.

Press release from the ADF&G:

The Anchor River will close to sport fishing beginning on Wednesday, June 15, at 12:01 a.m. through Thursday, June 30, at 11:59 p.m. The closure is to protect king salmon returning to the river. The department will continue to monitor king salmon escapement in the Anchor River as the run develops and determine whether additional management actions will be necessary to achieve the escapement goal.

Press release from the ADF&G:

The use of bait was prohibited in the Anchor River, Deep Creek and Ninilchik River beginning Saturday, June 11, and will continue through 11:59 p.m., Wednesday, June 22.

The escapement of king salmon in the Anchor through June 8 was 1,053 fish. State biologists are uncertain whether king salmon escapement on the river will exceed the goal of 3,800 to 10,000 king salmon.
