Falls Lake Sockeye Salmon - The Forest Service and the Organized Village of Kake operate the Falls Lake trap and video net weir which were installed June 29 and removed on August 18.  During this time, 592 Sockeye Salmon have been counted at the trap and about 700 have been harvested in the subsistence fishery.  Escapement through the net weir, which attempts to account for all fish entering the lake, is at least 1,200.  On average, 96% of the run has entered the lake by August 18.  The final escapement estimate in 2017 was 4,662 Sockeye Salmon while the final subsistence and sport harvest in the marine terminal area was 732.  Subsistence harvest accounted for 89% of terminal area harvest.
