It would put a seven-year hold on Yukon Chinook fishing, among other terms.
FAIRBANKS, Alaska - Alaska and Canada are considering an addition to their 1985 Pacific Salmon Treaty that would put a seven-year moratorium on Yukon River Chinook salmon fishing, with few exceptions.
Eva Burke, who’s on the ADF&G Minto-Nenana Advisory Committee, thought the addition to the treaty didn’t go far enough. With historically low runs persisting, sport fishing for Chinooks on the river has been disallowed or restricted since 2011 and for subsistence uses since 2020. The agreement would shutter Chinook subsistence fishing on the river, as well, but with a couple possible exceptions.
“So we would need to see the run increase dramatically before we could expect that there would be subsistence fishing for Chinook salmon,” Jallen said.
