The Alaska Department of Fish and Game issued four emergency orders restricting king salmon fishing in the Matanuska-Susitna Borough and on the Kenai Peninsula to catch-and-release.
in the Mat-Su from 6 a.m. on May 1 until 11:59 p.m. on July 13. The emergency order states that anglers may use one unbaited, single-hook artificial lure from the mouth of the Little Susitna River upstream to the Parks Highway and in all waters of the Susitna River drainage. Any king salmon that is caught must be released immediately without removing the fish from the water.
“The forecast for the Deshka River in 2022 indicates the escapement may be achieved near the lower bound of the escapement goal range without a harvestable surplus,” Area Management Biologist Sam Ivey said in the order.“ Catch-and-release fisheries will provide anglers an opportunity to fish from the outset of the season while run strength is monitored at the Deshka River weir should additional actions be necessary to either close fisheries or relax restrictions during the season.
“The Little Susitna River achieved its escapement goal last season with the majority of the season being restricted to catch-and-release fishing,” Ivey wrote in the order. “The last several years demonstrate no apparent trend in abundance. The Little Susitna king salmon fishery has the potential for higher sport harvest rates relative to other Northern Cook Inlet sport fisheries.
