State fish managers have decided to cancel the next subsistence harvest
State fish managers have decided to cancel the next subsistence harvest in District 1 of the Yukon River, which was originally scheduled to start on Friday, June 19 at 2 p.m. District 1 includes Emmonak, Nunam Iqua, Alakanuk, and Kotlik.
The subsistence opening in District 2 of the Yukon River, scheduled to open Saturday, June 20 at 2 p.m., has also been canceled. District 2 includes Mountain Village, Pitkas Point, St. Mary’s, Pilot Station, and Marshall.
The openings were canceled to allow more king and chum salmon entering the Yukon river to make it to spawning grounds.
Fishermen should stand by for future announcements regarding the next subsistence fishing period.
