(a) In the Alaska Peninsula Area, salmon may be taken at any time, except

(1) in those districts and sections open to commercial salmon fishing, a commercial salmon fishing permit holder may not subsistence fish for salmon during the 24 hours before a commercial salmon fishing period or the 12 hours following the closure of a commercial salmon fishing period; however, a commercial salmon fishing permit holder may choose to subsistence fish instead of commercial fish for salmon during a commercial salmon fishing period;

(2) as otherwise specified on a subsistence fishing permit; and

(3) in the waters closed to subsistence fishing for salmon specified in 5 AAC 01.425.

(b) Fish, other than salmon, rainbow trout, and steelhead trout, may be taken at any time unless restricted under the terms of a subsistence fishing permit. Rainbow trout and steelhead trout, taken incidentally in other subsistence finfish net fisheries or through the ice, are lawfully taken and may be retained for subsistence purposes.

At its February 23 - 27, 1993 meeting, the Board of Fisheries readopted 5 AAC 01.410(a) in its entirety without change, under ch. 1, SSSLA 1992 (the 1992 subsistence law), which repealed and reenacted AS 16.05.258.
