Southeast Alaska & Yakutat Commercial Fisheries

2024/2025 Winter Troll Fishery

The Southeast Alaska/Yakutat winter troll fishery opened on October 11, 2024 and will continue through March 15, 2025, or until 45,000 non-Alaska hatchery produced Chinook salmon are harvested, whichever occurs first. During the 2022 BOF meeting held in Anchorage, action plans were adopted giving the department direction, through emergency order authority, to identify and implement actions that provide conservation for Southeast Alaska/Yakutat (SEAK) and Transboundary River (TBR) wild Chinook salmon stocks while continuing to identify harvest opportunities that maintain conservation of these stocks. The department will monitor harvest data throughout the winter fishery to determine whether additional winter fishing opportunities will occur after March 15, 2025. The details of any potential extension to the fishery would be announced in a future advisory announcement. The winter troll fishery is open in most waters east of the winter boundary line (surfline) and includes the waters of Yakutat Bay. Please refer to the ADF&G advisory announcement issued on October 7, 2024 and the 2025–2028 Southeastern Alaska/Yakutat Areas Commercial Salmon Fishing Regulations (PDF 976 kB) booklet for additional details.
