Kings are in the Chena and Salcha Rivers. Bag and possession limit is one per day/one in possession.

All lakes have been stocked.

Fishing along the Denali Highway is expected to be good this weekend.

The mainstem Tanana River is high due to the glacial melt in the upper reaches.

Other rivers are low and clear, so Arctic grayling fishing should be excellent in the Chena River and its tributaries.

Remember that Arctic grayling fishing is catch and release only in the Chena River and all of its tributaries, including Badger Slough. Only 1 unbaited, single-hook artificial lure may be used.

Arctic grayling are being caught in the Delta Clearwater River. The bag and possession limit for Arctic grayling in the Delta Clearwater River is 1, which must be 12 inches or less. Only unbaited, artificial lures or flies may be used.

Northern pike fishing in Minto Flats should be great. By emergency order, the daily bag and possession limit for Northern pike, in all lakes and flowing waters of the Minto Flats area, has been decreased to two fish, only one of which may be greater than 30 inches in length.

This report will be updated as conditions warrant.

Good fishing!
