Under a new restriction this year, any Kasilof angler who catches a hatchery king may not fish for the rest of that day — for any fish species — on the Kasilof River between the Sterling Highway bridge and the river mouth.

Fishermen caught more than $40 million worth of salmon across all species in both Upper and Lower Cook Inlet, according to preliminary harvest data released earlier this month.

Anglers from all over the world descend on the Kenai River each summer for sockeye salmon. And this year, they caught them with ease — thanks to a record-breaking salmon run.

A 36-year-old woman was attacked near her driveway in Kenai at around 5:45 a.m Tuesday morning.

Wildlife troopers say all dipnet regulations can be found on a personal use permit.

Coho is one of several species of salmon native to the Kenai River watershed, but biologists still don’t know everything about their behavior. That’s why over the last three years, they’ve tracked them with tags that emit radio frequencies.

A personal-use set gillnet fishery at the mouth of the Kasilof River will close Saturday to reduce the mortality of Kenai River king salmon. The fishery will reopen Wednesday.
