SOLDOTNA, Alaska (KTUU) - The Alaska Department of Fish and Game are scheduled to meet Tuesday, in order to discuss closing sport fishing on the Kenai River later this week, due to low numbers of Sockeye salmon.

Brian Marston, area manager of sports fisheries, says there will be a normally scheduled weekly meeting at 2:30 p.m. Tuesday afternoon, to discuss sports fishing on the Kenai River.

Sports fishing will “probably not close tonight,” according to Marston.

Marston says he has not seen the latest numbers of Sockeye salmon yet, but he says that commercial fishing was closed on the Kenai for the Monday fishing period.

As area manager with ADF&G, Marston has the power to close the river for sports fishing.
