The Alaska Department of Fish and Game has closed the Ninilchik River to all sport fishing from June 23 through July 15 to help meet king salmon escapement and broodstock collection goals.

Infectious salmon anemia (ILA) has been confirmed at a SalMar aquaculture facility in Trettevik, Senja municipality in Troms, triggering a 10–20 km restriction zone to prevent disease spread.

Fishing on the Kenai and Russian rivers opened June 11, but as of the previous evening only one sockeye salmon had been counted at the Russian River weir—compared to more than 700 at this time last year.
