PULLEN CREEK AND POND OPEN TO KING SALMON FISHING

The Alaska Department of Fish and Game (ADF&G) announced today that Pullen Creek and Pullen Pond, in Skagway, is open to sport fishing for king salmon effective 12:01 a.m. Saturday, August 1, 2015. In this area, the bag and possession limit for all anglers (Alaska residents and nonresidents) is four king salmon of any size, and the nonresident annual limit for king salmon does not apply. This regulation will remain in effect through 11:59 p.m. Monday, September 14, 2015. This additional opportunity is being provided to allow harvest of hatchery-produced king salmon released at Pullen Creek. There will be no king salmon broodstock collected at Pullen Creek this year.

Anglers sport fishing for king salmon are required to purchase a 2015 king salmon stamp in addition to a 2015 sport fishing license. Exceptions to this requirement are listed on page 5 of the Southeast Alaska Sport Fishing Regulations Summary. Sport fishing licenses and king salmon stamps can be obtained online at www.adfg.alaska.gov.
