(a) The goal of this management plan is to allow the harvest of surplus Alagnak River sockeye salmon stocks in the Alagnak River Special Harvest Area when sockeye salmon returns to the Kvichak River prevent the harvest of sockeye salmon within the Kvichak District.
(b) The Alagnak River Special Harvest Area (ARSHA) consists of the waters of the Alagnak River from ADF&G regulatory markers located 1.5 miles upstream of its confluence with the Kvichak River, upstream to ADF&G regulatory markers located downstream of South Slough.

(3) during the operation of a set gillnet, a person may not place any part of the set gillnet, anchor, peg, stake, buoy, or other device to set the gillnet, more than 200 feet from the terrestrial vegetation line of a bank on the Alagnak River;
(4) a set gillnet must be operated in a substantially straight line perpendicular to the nearest bank of the Alagnak River;

(6) all gear and equipment associated with set gillnet fishing in the ARSHA must be removed from the water when it is not being used to fish in the ARSHA.
