It’s sport fishing season in downtown Unalaska -- and you might see folks fishing in some new spots this year.

For the first time, the entire Iliuliuk creek is open to fish for Dolly Varden trout -- from Alyeska Seafoods up to Unalaska lake.

"So right there, where both foot-walking bridges are, we had a bunch of complaints -- people calling and saying, ‘Hey, you can’t fish there!’" says Alaska Wildlife Trooper Sergeant Robin Morrisett. "Well, this year you can, for Dolly Varden only."

As for salmon: the rules haven’t changed. People can only fish for reds, silvers and pinks below the church hole and the marked signs along the creek, down toward Alyeska.

Morrisett also reminds subsistence fishermen to make sure they’re following the rules:

"Just make sure you have your subsistence permits, and ... that you mark down what crab or fish you have taken before getting back to the dock, because when you do get back to the dock, if you haven't filled that in, that’s going to be a ticket," he says.

And he says everyone should be sure their boats are stocked with the proper safety equipment before they go out fishing.
