At this week's statewide Bristol Bay finfish meeting, the Board of Fisheries will decide on an action plan to address the struggling Nushagak king salmon run.
The first action is the status quo, so Fish and Game would continue to manage the fishery under the current regulations. The department says that without additional guidelines, this sets its management up for failure to either keep sockeye within its escapement range or meet king escapement.Action 2 would let managers open sockeye fishing in the Wood River Special Harvest Area and close fishing in the Nushagak District to protect the king runs.
Under existing regulations, drift fishermen can use 150 fathoms and dual permit holders can use 200 fathoms, while set netters can use 50. The department says this would let more kings swim past the fleet and upriver. But shrinking the fishing area could mean more crowded fishing and would make it harder to control sockeye escapement.Action 6 would close the district to commercial fishing until July 1, except for set netting in the Igushik section. That closure would last until the king run is projected to exceed its in-river goal or until it exceeds its minimum escapement goal.
