Corinne Smith/KDLGIt’s the penultimate day of Fish and Game’s daily run summary. Another half-million fish came through the bay on Thursday and the total run is now 76.5 million sockeye. With harvest also at 58.2 million fish, this year’s records keep on growing. Let’s dive in.
-
The bay-wide run is now 66.7 million salmon, just shy of last year’s record run of 67.7 million. The Nushagak District also has its second-largest run of all time with 28.3 million, just 100,000 over last year’s count of 28.2 million. -
Bristol Bay had 3.8 million fish come through the region on Saturday, the baywide run is now 53.8 million. The Nushagak District harvested another million fish and harvest there is now the second largest for the district on record.

3.4 million fish came through Bristol Bay yesterday. The Nushagak District is now on its third biggest run of all time and has its third largest harvest of all time as well with weeks left in the season.
-
Another day, another million-fish catch in the Nushagak. Harvest in that district is already the fourth-largest on record. After a lull, escapement up rivers on the West Side jumped on Tuesday. Egegik fleets brought in almost a million fish as well.
-
The Nushagak District had its third-largest single day harvest with about 1.78 million salmon caught and Egegik fishers saw another 1.2 million in their nets as well. The bay-wide run is now 34.4 million fish.
-
The Nushagak fleet had another million-day catch on Sunday, but Egegik wasn’t far behind. Ugashik fisherfolk continue to bring in the biggest loads as the bay-wide run edges near 30 million fish.
-
The Nushagak District broke the record for single day harvest: The fleet caught 2.46 million salmon on Thursday. Average drift deliveries there had more than 2,000 sockeye. Ugashik fishers are still bringing in the heaviest loads.
-
The bay’s daily sockeye run declined on Wednesday to 1.9 million salmon and Port Moller numbers are on the decline as well. Nushagak District fisherfolk caught the most fish but Ugashik fisherfolk had almost four times as many sockeye per drift delivery.
-
Fishing slowed down a bit in most districts, but Egegik led Tuesday's harvest again with well over half a million salmon. The Nushagak District saw about half a million in escapement and Ugashik fishermen once again brought in some big deliveries. The bay-wide run so far is at 14.3 million salmon. That’s double what last year’s total run was at this date.
-
The Nushagak River's sockeye escapement is now more than double its upper goal. Both the Nushagak and Egegik’s fleets hauled in huge harvests — Egegik’s fleet caught over 900,000 sockeye on Monday. Ugashik more than doubled its total harvest and had some hefty drift deliveries.
