Summer Troll
Fishery Updated
The Southeast/Yakutat commercial troll fishery will remain open until further notice, the Alaska Department of Fish and Game said.
No mid-August troll closure for coho salmon management is planned for this season. A troll closure is not required by regulation, since there will not be a second Chinook salmon retention period during the summer fishery.
The department said that based on the second assessment of the coho salmon run strength, catch rates by all gear groups, effort and projected catches, the department has determined that a troll closure is not needed at this time for conservation or allocation purposes.
Fish and Game will closely monitor abundance indicators as the season progresses and will take appropriate action should the run fail to develop as expected.
The waters of frequent high king salmon abundance will remain closed.
The 2015 Summer Troll Fishery Management Plan is available at all regional ADF&G offices and on the troll website at: http://www.adfg.alaska.gov/index.cfm?adfg=commercialbyareasoutheast.salmon_trollsummer

Tidal Network has been working tirelessly to install Starlink satellite equipment for city and other critical institutions, including the Sentinel, following the sudden breakage of GCI's fiberoptic cable on August 29, which left most of Sitka without internet or phone connections. CCTHITA's public-spirited response to the emergency is inspiring.
