The sport fishing bag and possession limit for sockeye salmon in the Ayakulik River drainage has been increased to 10 fish per day; 10 in possession. This emergency order will be in effect beginning 12:01a.m., Thursday, June 12.
The escapement goal for sockeye salmon in the Ayakulik River drainage is 140,000 to 280,000 fish. As of June 8, the weir count was 96,893 sockeye salmon. Based on historical run timing, the department expects the final weir count to exceed the escapement goal for this stock. To provide additional sport fish harvest opportunity, the bag and possession limit for sockeye salmon 20 inches or greater in length in the Ayakulik River drainage is increased to 10 fish.
