Yakutat Charters is happy to announce and forward the 2021 King salmon regulations for sport fish.
In spite of the average decline in kings the past 8 years statewide. There have been some bright spots and some eye opening regulations the past 2 seasons. 2020 started our normal with a 1 king a day limit for residents and non Alaska residents. However by July the fish and game had raised the limit from 1 a day for residents too 2 and then 3 and by end of July it got to 5 per day for resident fishermen while opening up the Non resident annual limit back up to 4 a year. Due to angler participation down due to the pandemic. For ME personally …THIS was go time and I made good use of the opportunity late July to have some fun with friends locally and put some kings away for the year ahead.
Looking in to 2021 there was noted increase for the king limits and this was partially Covid -19 related due to lack of anglers last year catching normal annual allocations. Thus increasing the supplies left to roll forward in last season as well as 2021.
In short the limit will be 3 a day no annual limit for residents and 1 a day with 4 annual limit for NON Residents. That is outstanding and presents great opportunity for visitors and locals alike to significantly increase both fun and food for the time and efforts on the water.
