Another bust year for Yukon River king salmon returns, sonar counters show

Eagle, Alaska, United States

Sonar counts at Eagle on the Yukon River recorded only 23,806 Chinook salmon through Aug. 28, 2025, failing to meet the lowered U.S.-Canada escapement target for the second year in a row. Fall chum runs are also far below treaty objectives, keeping subsistence fisheries closed.
