The Copper River dipnet fishery is shutting down for a full week, July 6–12, as Alaska’s Fish and Game department steps in to protect salmon runs—numbers are at a 40-year low. Normally open from early June through September, this closure is part of a plan to ensure enough fish reach their spawning grounds. Reopening for the rest of July and August is conditional on salmon returns, and September is already locked out. While other rivers like the Kenai and Kasilof remain open, this move hits hard for locals who depend on the Copper River’s bounty.
