Kodiak Refuge Sets Application Dates for 2005 Karluk River Limited Entry Permits


 The easement agreement limits the number of visitors in this area to 28 unguided visitors and 42 guided visitors.  During the peak of the king salmon run (June 10 to July 15), an unguided visitor will need a Limited Entry Permit from the Refuge.  Guides and their clients will register through Koniag, Inc. in a separate and unrelated process.  All Alaska Department of Fish and Game regulations apply to those who fish.

 

The application period for the 2005 Limited Entry season runs from November 1st through December 13th 2004. The Refuge will accept Limited Entry Permit application in two forms:  First, individuals and party leaders can apply online at http://alaska.fws.gov/KarlukRiverApp/.  Cys Sporting Goods, Macks Sport Shop, and Seahawk Air in Kodiak have computers dedicated to Refuge permit applications.  Second, applicants may use mailed or faxed applications.  To request a paper application, contact the Refuge at

1-888-408-3514 or 1-907-487-2600.

 

We will use a lottery drawing on January 7th 2005 to choose Limited Entry Permit holders.  Applicants can check the results at the permit website (above) or by calling the refuge.  Any remaining Limited Entry Permits will be available from the Refuge after January 7 on a first-come, first-serve basis.  It is advised that Limited Entry Permit applications be submitted up to one full business day (minimum of 24 hours) to allow time for processing.

 

We require Registration Permits for access to these same easement lands on dates outside of the June 10th through July 15th Limited Entry period.  We have no limits on the number of Registration Permits we allocate. The Registration Permit application is available online, or you may contact the refuge by telephone to have an application mailed or faxed.
