ADF&G has not announced another opener, but said it anticipates the next one being Monday, June 1. The catch reported from the May 25 opener was a meager 1,470 kings. The news for sockeye was much better, with 33,750 fish harvested.

That amount for sockeye, while seven times the amount caught in the second fishing period, is only a little more than half of what the state agency projected would be 60,050 sockeye salmon harvested by this time. ADF&G reported there were 448 deliveries from the Monday opener, which should provide some relief to weary buyers.

The Alaska state agency, which operates sonar to gauge the strength of Copper River sockeye runs, is seeing an uptick in its count of salmon, ADF&G's Jeremy Botz told IntraFish.

"But harvest numbers were well below anticipated, so we decided to hold off on a Thursday opener," he said.

The agency's cumulative sonar count through Tuesday was 26,991 fish, only 39 percent of the fish ADF&G projected would be counted by this date.
