The bay-wide run has surpassed the Bristol Bay inshore run forecast, reaching over 44.1 million, and is still climbing. That said, catch and escapement dropped off over the weekend, with the largest haul coming in from the Naknek-Kvichak district at just under 40,000 sockeye.

The largest catch came in from Egegik yesterday, while the Alagnak held the largest escapement of all the rivers. The total run is creeping up to its forecast, and vessel registration data is no longer available.

The Naknek-Kvichak had a greater catch & escapement than all other districts combined yesterday, and the Kvichak River has almost surpassed the Nushagak River in total escapement, with almost 3 million spawners making their way upstream. Overall, bay-wide catch and escapement numbers are starting to slow down.

Smaller numbers today as the tail of the run makes its way to the bay. However, both Egegik and Naknek-Kvichak surpassed 10 million in their total run. The strongest escapement yesterday swam through the Kvichak river, as the majority of fish continue to flood that district.

The bay-wide run has surpassed the 40 million mark, well on its way to that 44 million pre-season forecast. Egegik and Ugashik have now both exceeded their projected total run, and the Naknek River has now passed the lower benchmark of its escapement google range. Port Moller has reported their final catch update for the 2026 fishing season.

The bay-wide run is now just over 35 million fish. Yesterday’s catch brought in just over 1 million salmon, with Egegik fleets bringing in the biggest haul of the day. The Ugashik district has now exceeded its pre-season forecast, with a total run so far of 5.7 million fish.

The bay-wide run is now just under 33.5 million fish, that’s about three quarters of the way to hitting the total run forecast for the season. Ugashik’s total run has hit the district’s inshore forecast of 5.2 million fish, and yesterday their escapement counts more than doubled. Lots of boats still on their way to the Naknek-Kvichak, with over 130 additional permits transferring to the district over the next two days.

The bay-wide run is now just over 31 million fish, with yesterday’s catches in Egegik, Nushagak, and Naknek-Kvichak each in the ballpark of half a million fish. The total bay-wide catch was just under 1.8 million. Escapement in the Naknek River is closing in on the lower end of its escapement goal, and total runs in Egegik and Ugashik are each within a million fish of their pre-season forecast.

The bay-wide run is now just under 29 million fish, with about 1.1 million fish caught yesterday. Egegik crews brought in nearly half of that, with about 490,000 fish. Lots of folks are on their way to fish the Naknek-Kvichak, with almost 150 additional permits transferring to the district over the next two days.

The bay-wide run is now just under 27 million fish, with big catches over the weekend. On Sunday, crews caught 1.4 million fish, and Saturday, crews across the bay caught a whopping 2.3 million fish–that’s the biggest bay-wide catch of the season so far. Togiak tower crews started work last night, and the Naknek River saw a nice bump in escapement yesterday, bringing them closer to the lower end of their escapement goal range. The Port Moller Test Fishery says the bay is on track to meet its pre-season forecast of 44 million fish.
