Chitina Personal Use Salmon Fishery
Harvest & Effort
Online Harvest Reporting is Required
All Chitina Personal Use Salmon Fishery permits must be reported online through the ADF&G harvest reporting webpage. Permits must be reported even if you did not go fishing, or if you went and caught nothing. Online reporting is required regardless of whether you purchased the permit through the ADF&G online store or through a vendor. Permits returned to ADF&G offices by mail or hand-delivery will not be accepted.
Permits must be reported online no later than October 15th..
If you have questions about online harvest reporting, please contact your local ADF&G office.
Failure to Report and the Loss of Future Fishing Privileges
The penalty for failing to report your Chitina Personal Use Salmon Fishery Permit online by the October 15 deadline is the loss of Chitina personal use fishing privileges for the following season. Permit holders who fail to report will be denied a permit for the fishery in the year following the failure to report.
To request removal of being placed on the failure-to-report list, you must complete the following during the late reporting and appeals period:
- Report your permit online, AND
- Submit a written appeal that references your permit number and explains why the report was not submitted online by the October 15 deadline. Written appeals must be emailed to dfg.dsf.chitinapermits@alaska.gov, received by a local ADF&G office and validated in office with a date stamp, or postmarked no later than December 15.
Late reports and appeals will not be accepted after December 15. BOTH tasks must be completed to be removed from the failure-to-report list.
To help you remember timely harvest reporting, be sure to provide a valid email address when obtaining your permit so that you will receive a reminder email near the end of the fishing season.
