    Droves of dipnetters crowd the beach along the Kenai River this past summer looking to fill their freezers with sockeye salmon in the personal use fishery open only to Alaska residents. The 2013 season featured a single-day record of nearly 250,000 sockeye entering the river on July 16, but many who missed out on that Tuesday bonanza had difficulty reaching their limit of 25 reds for a head of household and 10 for each additional family member.-Peninsula Clarion file photo

    Chris Miller, left, Aaron Opp, and Jason Kolhase, right, work to remove sockeye salmon from their net on the fishing vessel Icy Bay in the Egegik district of the Bristol Bay sockeye salmon fishery in this Juneau Empire file photo. While harvest of pinks, chums and silvers boomed in 2013, the Bristol Bay sockeye return was less than its recent 10-year average with about 16 million harvested. The Nushagak River in the Bristol Bay watershed was the lone bright spot for king salmon in 2013 with some 113,000 fish entering the river and allowing liberal fishing for all users.-Morris New Service file photo
