There are enough fall chum salmon to allow subsistence fishing in one upriver area, but all other areas of the upper Yukon River basin remain closed.
Strips of dried salmon are seen on June 25, 2009. Chum salmon runs on the Yukon River improved enough this year to allow some subsistence harvesting in Alaska, but chinook returns did not show a similar improvement. Returns of Canada-origin fish were particularly weak.
However, all other areas of the upper Yukon River basin, whether in Alaska or Canada, remain completely closed to chum or coho salmon fishing, the department said. A section of the upper Yukon River flowing through the Yukon-Charley Rivers National Preserve is seen on Sept. 10, 2012. The river flows through Alaska into Canada. A U.S.-Canada treaty aims to ensure that Alaskans and Canadians have enough Yukon River salmon to meet their needs.
Along with ocean problems, there seem to be changes in the upriver spawning areas that are particularly harmful to fish originating in Canada, she said. “The last couple of years, we’ve seen poor run strength of the Canadian stocks,” she said.
