The National Park Service has announced that federal subsistence fishing in the Upper Copper River District will commence on May 15, 2025. This opportunity is exclusively open to local rural residents who meet the necessary qualifications. A federal permit, which is issued on a household basis, is required to participate in the fishing season. Each household in a given subdistrict is eligible for only one permit.
Registration of subsistence fish wheels, a crucial part of the process, should be carried out by the owner. This can be done through either the National Park Service or the Glennallen office of the Alaska Department of Fish and Game. The registration process ensures that all fishing activities are conducted within the stipulated regulations and guidelines.
