This decision has far reaching impacts. Under the Mag Stevens Act the fed govt has sole responsibility and duty to manage salmon within the fed waters throughout their migratory range in state waters. That includes the Kenai River. Any management plan that fed agencies come up must address this obligation. One of the federal standards for any plan prohibits discrimination of non residents from having equal access to the fisheries. Right now participation in the dip net fishery is limited to residents. The Feds cannot allow that to continue and still be in compliance with the law. So, You should at least contemplate or even worse, expect that the dip net fisheries on the Kenai will have non resident participation. As if it is not already a zoo for a couple of weeks. Think about two or three times more dip netters in a small area!
