An error in the Southcentral Sport Fish regulation summary booklet incorrectly states that angling on Fish Creek opens on August 9.

Fish Creek, from ADF&G markers at the mouth upstream to ADF&G markers ¼ mile upstream of Knik-Goose Bay Road, will open to angling at 6 a.m. on Saturday, August 8. Fishing in this section is only allowed on Saturday and Sunday from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. through December 31.

The bag and possession limit for salmon (other than king salmon) 16 inches or greater is 3 fish, of which only 2 per day and 2 in possession may be coho salmon.

The use of bait and multiple hooks is allowed in this section.

Anglers are reminded that after taking a bag limit of salmon in these waters, a person may not sport fish that same day for any species of fish in waters open to salmon fishing that same day, and anglers may not remove a coho salmon from the water before releasing the fish.
