Chinook runs slow in Southeast Alaska

Catches of King salmon in Southeast’s Gillnet and troll fisheries are down from last year. After some shortened openings, gillnetters in central southeast are starting to switch their focus away from this spring’s run of Stikine river king salmon. Meanwhile, the spring troll fisheries targeting hatchery kings are down as well.
