Fishing in the summertime is not only a way to put fresh fish on the table, but is also a wonderful way to enjoy the outdoors.

Although there are recent emergency orders on king fishing this weekend, there are many options for fishing in the Upper Susitna Valley.

KTNA’s Katie Writer spoke with Mat-Su Area Fish Management Biologist for the [Alaska Department of Fish and Game](http://www.adfg.alaska.gov/index.cfm?adfg=home.main&ref=ktna.org), Sam Ivey about recent [emergency orders](https://ktna.org/2017/06/23/fish-and-game-places-additional-restrictions-on-valley-king-fishing/) as well as where the fishing is hot.
