2022 Alaska Fishing Regulations

King Salmon Fishing in Sitka, AK with Angling Unlimited

Halibut 2022 Regulations:

Daily limit: 1 per person per day either under 40″ or over 80″

Annual limit: None

Timing: Expect fast halibut action all season. We have great success catching halibut up to the 40-inch maximum from May thru September. We do catch the very occasional halibut over the 80-inch mark – especially in May and June.

Size: 10-450 pounds. We see halibut of all sizes in Sitka. Best fishing is on the ocean, so as long as weather permits, we’ll get them!

Chinook (King) Salmon 2022 Regulations:

Nonresident King Limits for 2022

  • The nonresident bag and possession limit is one king salmon per person, 28 inches or greater in length.
  • From January 1 through June 30, the nonresident annual harvest limit is three king salmon, 28 inches or greater in length.
  • From July 1 through July 15, the nonresident annual harvest limit is two king salmon, 28 inches or greater in length; any king salmon harvested from January 1 through June 30 will apply towards the two fish annual harvest limit;
  • From July 16 through December 31, the nonresident annual harvest limit is one king salmon, 28 inches or greater in length; any king salmon harvested from January 1 through July 15 will apply towards the one fish annual harvest limit;
  • Immediately upon landing and retaining a king salmon a nonresident must enter the species, date, and location on their sport fishing license or on a nontransferable harvest record.
  • February 01, 2022 – Expires: March 31, 2023

Coho (Silver) Salmon 2022 Regulations:
