The Alaska Department of Fish and Game will be closing the Anchor River to sport fishing from Wednesday, June 15, through Thursday, June 30.
The Department says the closure is to protect king salmon returning to the river, and that as of June 12, only 1,405 king salmon had made escapement. The Department’s escapement goal is 3,800-10,000 king salmon, 75 percent of which usually pass through the weir by June 12.
