Anglers on the Russian River can now catch up to six sockeye a day and be in possession of 12, per an
Fish and Game biologist Colton Lipka said that last week, escapement numbers were exceeding expectations. According to Fish and Game, as of last Wednesday more than 17,000 sockeye had passed through the weir upriver. The department’s escapement goal for the early run, which peaks around June 27, is between 22,000 and 42,000 sockeye.
“You cannot fish in waters where you have over your possession limit. If you did go up, and you get more than six, and then you wanted to go fish the main stem Kenai for sockeye, you couldn’t do that, because you have more than the possession limit in the main stem lower river allows,” Lipka said.
