There is a shift in focus in Alaska’s salmon harvest, from sockeye to pink salmon, as Bristol Bay winds down. Although the season has improved significantly over the past four weeks and nearly 42 million sockeye have been harvested statewide, many areas of the state are behind historical averages. Luckily, this year’s catches were larger in size, so there is still plenty of salmon for you to enjoy.
