The Alaska Department of Fish and Game (ADF&G) is reminding all Upper Cook Inlet Personal Use permit holders to submit your harvest report online no later than August 15, 2022, through the ADF&G Online Harvest Reporting webpage. The UCI permit also has a QR code that will take you directly to the Online Harvest Reporting webpage.
In order to submit your harvest report online, pertinent information needs to be submitted, including your first and last name, date of birth, and driver’s license number, and hit the Search Permit button. Select the 2022 Upper Cook Inlet Personal Use Salmon Permit (Kenai/Kasilof/Susitna/Fish Creek) and Add Harvest Record(s) or mark as not fished. The Alaska Department of Fish and Game states that online reporting is required regardless of whether you obtained a UCI permit through the ADF&G online store or through a vendor, and whether you went dipnetting or not. Additionally, returning permits by mail or hand-delivery is no longer an acceptable means to report. Contact your local ADF&G office if you have any further questions.
ADF&G adds that beginning with this year’s fishing season, the penalty for failure to submit your UCI harvest report online by the August 15 reporting deadline is the loss of personal use fishing privileges in 2023. Permit holders who fail to report will be denied a permit for the fishery in the year following the failure to report.
To help you report your harvest in a timely manner, provide a valid email address when obtaining your permit so that ADF&G can send you a reminder email prior to the end of the fishing season. Additionally, you can subscribe to receive emergency orders and advisory announcements for the Northern Kenai Peninsula and Mat-Su/West Cook areas.
