Dolly Varden from Monashka Creek Stocking Areas Kodiak Road Zone Kodiak Road Zone Sport Fishing Enhancement Projects The Department of Fish and Game annually funds numerous fisheries enhancement projects throughout Alaska in order to increase the abundance and diversity of fish species available to anglers. On Kodiak Island, several enhanced sport fisheries are maintained in Road Zone waters and include populations of anadromous king salmon, plus anadromous coho salmon and resident rainbow trout. Hatchery raised king salmon can be caught from mid-June through early August at the American and Olds river drainages, Salonie Creek and at Monashka Creek near Termination Point. Anadromous coho salmon return to Monashka and Pillar creeks, Mill Bay and Mission Beach from early August through the end of September. Rainbow trout annually stocked in 16 Road Zone lakes are available to anglers year-round and can be fished through the ice when safe conditions exist. • Stocked location maps are available from the Kodiak ADF&G office and also online: http://www.adfg.alaska.gov/index.cfm?adfg=fishingSport.region&StockingAreaID=8 • Additional information on Kodiak and other sport fisheries enhancement activities can be found at the Division of Sport Fish website: http://www.adfg.alaska.gov/index.cfm?adfg=fishingSport.main Stocked Lakes and Beaches on the Kodiak Road System Location SS RT KS 1) Monashka Creek n n 2) Pillar Creek n 3) Abercrombie Lake n 4) Mill Bay n 5) Island and Dark Lakes n 6) Big/Lilly Lake n 7) Long Lake n 8) Tanignak n 10) Lilly Pond n 11) Lee Lake n 12) Caroline, Aurel & Cicely Lake n 13) Salonie Creek n 14) Dragonfly Lake n 15) Horseshoe Lake n 16) Heitman Lake n 17) American River n 18) Olds River n 19) Bull Lake n 20) East Twin Lake n 21) Mission Beach n Success at Island Lake in Kodiak SS = Silver (coho) Salmon RT = Rainbow Trout KS = King Salmon KODIAK ISLAND FRESH WATER 29.
