Restrictions Lifted for First Nations Fishery in Yukon River

The Yukon River that runs along the Alaska-Yukon border only counted approximately 12,000 chinook salmon in its waters last year. This year, that number has jumped up to over 41,000. Restrictions on a First Nations subsistence fishery have been lifted and it is possible that restrictions on sport, commercial, and domestic fisheries will follow suit.
