* Just a reminder to all our anglers, please do your part to help slow the spread of Covid-19 by following and reviewing the current State of Alaska Health Mandates in effect. This includes practicing social distancing while sport and personal use fishing and wearing a face covering when fishing and if you are needing fishing supplies from your local store as indicated in Health Alert 010.

Emergency Orders

Please review the Emergency Orders and Advisory Announcements below in their entirety before heading out on your next fishing trip.

  • There are currently no Emergency Orders for the Bristol Bay Management Area.

Freshwater Fishing

  • Fishing for Arctic char is reported to be hit or miss. Fish have dispersed from river mouths as spring salmon smolt outmigration has finished.
  • Fishing for rainbow trout and Arctic grayling is reported to be fair to good in Bristol Bay rivers where fishing is currently open. It is still prespawn for salmon so nymphs, streamers, and spinners (where allowed) should work well.
  • Fishing for northern pike is reported to be fair to good with fishing concentrated around weeded bays and sloughs.
  • Fishing for king salmon in the Nushagak River is fair to good with reports of some larger fish being caught recently as the middle portion of the run is entering the river.
  • Fishing for king salmon in the Naknek River is slow to fair with the run just beginning to arrive in catchable numbers. Fishing should improve over the next few weeks.

Don’t forget to bring your 2020 sport fishing license and king salmon stamp! Help maximize social distancing and purchase your 2020 sport fishing license and king stamp through the ADF&G online store and print it off from the comfort of your own home. Also, make sure to review Emergency Orders and the 2020 Southwest Sport Fishing Regulations Summary booklet for the area you are fishing before you head out.
