  • Bristol Bay sockeye: 19.3M fish, 60% of forecast (32.26M fish in-area). Top district on the sockeye scoreboard.
  • Alaska Peninsula sockeye: 4.32M fish, 38% of forecast (11.3M fish projected).
  • Chignik sockeye: 369K fish, 23% of forecast (1.64M fish projected).
  • Arctic-Yukon-Kuskokwim: 2% of forecast, furthest behind among reporting districts.

July is the peak of the Bristol Bay sockeye run. The statewide 22 percent overall figure covers all five species; pink (humpies), chum (dogs), coho (silvers) and Chinook (kings) build through July and August, so their early-season percentages are low by design.
