Multiple mid-July Mat-Su fishery changes
Since writing last week’s column I’ve heard of sockeye salmon being caught at Fish Creek out Knik Goose Bay Road. 54 sockeye were recorded passing the Alaska Department of Fish and Game (ADF&G) Fish Creek Weir through Monday July 8. Sport sockeye catches will likely increase as more fish migrate upstream through Sunday June 14. The Fish Creek salmon sport fishery will then close on July 15. From July 15 - 31 the Fish Creek dip net fishery MAY open, by emergency order, if ADF&G determines adequate escapement through the weir will likely occur.. Note: within the past decade I believe the earliest the Fish Creek personal use dip net fishery has ever opened has been July 19.
