King Salmon Closure Hits Ship Creek | Anchorage News

Ship Creek in Anchorage shut down early this summer due to critically low king salmon returns — only the third such closure in a decade. The closure ripples beyond the creek, as these fish stock other Southcentral fisheries. While disappointing for anglers like California’s Todd chasing his first Alaskan catch, many locals like Nathan are still out there catching and releasing silver salmon. The spot’s now open for silver salmon, and nearby stocked trout lakes and Bird Creek offer plenty of alternatives for hungry anglers.
