	(a)  Unless otherwise specified in this section, 5 AAC 01.275, or 5 AAC 07.365, finfish, except rainbow trout, may be taken in the Kuskokwim Area at any time. Rainbow trout taken incidentally in other subsistence finfish net fisheries and through the ice are legally taken and may be retained for subsistence purposes.

In Subdistricts 1-A and 1-B, the commissioner may, by emergency order, reopen fishing periods where subsistence fishing will be allowed in portions of waters adjacent to the waters of Subdistricts 1-A or 1-B open to commercial fishing under this subsection.  
	(c)  In Districts 4 and 5, salmon may be taken at any time, except that from June 1 through September 8, salmon may not be taken for 16 hours before, during, and six hours after each commercial salmon fishing period in each district.
