Sockeye Run: Bristol Bay
Salmon openings, ADF&G runs
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
The 2026 Bristol Bay sockeye season is here. Real-time openings, emergency
orders, escapement counts, Port Moller index, and ADF&G forecasts all on
deck.
Sockeye Run is the Bristol Bay sockeye dashboard built for the people who
actually fish the run. Skippers, deckhands, setnetters, and tenders all need
the same thing every July: the latest ADF&G escapement, the real-time district
openings, the emergency orders, and a forecast they can trust before the next
tide. Sockeye Run puts all of it on one screen.
WHAT YOU GET
• Live run summary by district — Naknek-Kvichak, Egegik, Ugashik, Nushagak,
and Togiak. Daily catch, escapement, and total run, refreshed as ADF&G
publishes. Compare against the preseason forecast in real time.
• Escapement by river — Naknek, Kvichak, Alagnak, Egegik, Ugashik, Wood,
Nushagak, Igushik, and Togiak. Cumulative counts vs. goal, day-over-day
change, and the date of the last tower reading.
• Emergency orders, openings & announcements — push notifications the moment
ADF&G announces a fishing period, an extension, a closure, or a bay-wide
advisory. No more refreshing the ADF&G site between sets.
• Port Moller Test Fishery (PMTF) — daily catch index by station and
age-class composition by stock (1.2, 2.2, 1.3, 2.3) so you can read the
run before it hits the bay.
• Boats — district-level fleet counts (Naknek-Kvichak, Egegik, Ugashik,
Nushagak, Togiak) with hourly history, so you can see where boats are
stacking up.
• Run-strength meter & age composition — bay-wide signal showing whether
the run is tracking ahead of, on, or behind forecast, plus the projected
age-class breakdown.
• Preseason forecast — full ADF&G inshore run, harvest, and escapement
projections for every system, side-by-side with last season's actuals.
• Weather built for the bay — wind, sea state, temperatures, and the marine
forecast for Naknek, Dillingham, King Salmon, Egegik, Ugashik, Pilot Point,
and Togiak. Optional alerts for gale warnings and small-craft advisories.
• Multi-season history — flip between seasons (2026, 2025, 2024 and back) to
compare runs, escapement, and openings year over year.
