August 15 was the deadline to return 2006 Upper Cook Inlet personal use salmon permits to the Department of Fish and Game.  These are the permits for dipnetting at the Kenai and Kasilof rivers, and for set gillnetting at the Kasilof River.

You are required to return the permit, even if you did not fish, or even if you fished but did not catch anything.  Continuing the Upper Cook Inlet personal use fishing opportunity largely relies on your compliance with requirements, and your cooperation is greatly appreciated.  Failure to return any ADF&G permit is a violation and could result in a $200 fine and loss of future privileges.  If you return your permit immediately no action will be taken.

Please review information you wrote down on the permit to make sure it is legible and correct.  If no one went personal use fishing, please check the box “Did not Fish” on the permit and return it.

Permits can be mailed to the Department with appropriate postage.  For your convenience the address is printed on the back of the permit.  Permits can also be delivered to your local ADF&G office during regular business hours. 

If you’ve lost your permit, or if it’s too damaged to go through the mail, please mail a letter that includes your name, mailing address, 2006 sport fishing license number, driver’s license number and names of the household members.  Please provide a list of each time you went dipnetting/gillnetting, where you went, and the number of each species of fish you kept, including flounder. If you went dipnetting but did not catch any fish, include the dates and locations, and write “zero.”    The letter should be mailed to:
