Where can I subsistence hunt and fish around Fairbanks?
A. The Joint Board of Fisheries and Game in 1992 established the Fairbanks Nonsubsistence Area, which includes the Fairbanks-North Star Borough and portions of Game Management Units 25C, 20A, and 20D as depicted in the map under “nonsubsistence areas,” above. Subsistence hunting and fishing regulations do not apply within the Fairbanks Nonsubsistence Area; however, general sport and/or recreational hunting opportunities are provided within the Fairbanks Nonsubsistence Area, as are sport fishing and personal use fishing opportunities. Contact the Division of Wildlife Conservation at (907)459-7206 and the Division of Sport Fish at (907)459-7228 for more information about hunting and fishing opportunities in and near Fairbanks.
