Starting this Thursday, June 23rd, King Salmon may not be targeted for sport fishing in Units 1-6 of the Susitna River Drainage.
This regulation supersedes the emergency order released on June 16th of this year that closed King Salmon fishing on the Deshka River, but allowed it to continue in the Susitna River drainage.
Area Management Biologist Sam Ivey said that the Deshka River weir count to date is of the lowest on record in 27 years of operation.
Ivey said, “This is never an easy decision; however, it is time to act to conserve the remainder of this year’s spawning escapement.”
