Sport Fishing Reopened In Bear Cove
Beginning Saturday, September 30, 2017 the saltwater area of Bear Cove near Medvejie Hatchery is open to sport fishing. Bear Cove was closed on September 20 for the protection of coho salmon broodstock at Medvejie Hatchery. Since this closure, enough coho salmon broodstock have been secured to allow for fishing opportunity again. Anglers are reminded that snagging in Bear Cove is not allowed east of a line between ADF&G markers.
