One creek, one species, frozen at the end of the 2024 season. Nothing here updates — the app is where the live numbers are.

Fish Creek sockeye
Frozen · 2024 seasonFish Creek is a weir-counted system in the Mat-Su, one of the road-accessible sockeye fisheries a large share of Southcentral Alaska drives to. It is small enough that a run can build and fade inside a week, which is exactly why the daily number matters more here than the seasonal forecast does.
Peak day

The five-year average puts the midpoint of this run around July 21. In 2024 the peak did not arrive until July 30. Anyone who booked the week off the average fished the front half of a run that had not started yet.
Three things this page will never do
In the appToday’s number
This page is frozen at the end of 2024 and will stay that way. Live counts arrive on your phone the moment ADF&G posts them.
The other three species
Fish Creek counts 4 species. This page shows one of them, because a sample that shows everything is not a sample.
All 24 seasons
One season here, against a five-year average. The app holds the full record, so you can see where this year sits in twenty-four of them.
Other stations on this map
5 more counted systems in the Mat-Su alone. They do not have sample pages — they are in the app.
- Deshka 3 species
- Jim Creek 1 species
- Little Susitna 2 species
- Wasilla Creek 2 species

One creek, one season, one species. The app has the rest.
Every station ADF&G counts, every species at each one, twenty-four seasons of history, and a notification the minute your creek updates.
