King Salmon

King salmon trips generally start the end of May (depending on location), with the state
wide season closure occurring on July 13. Kings are the largest of the Pacific salmon,
and the first to run the rivers of Alaska. Sizes range from twenty pounds, up to about 65
pounds. Some larger specimens have been caught; the state record is 97.25 pounds.
Sizes and catchable numbers fluctuate between rivers.

Silver salmon fishing begins mid-July (again depending on location), and can continue
until late September. Hold onto your rods, my best day a 72 year old gentleman and
myself landed 93 silvers in three hours. Sizes range from 9 to 15 pounds.

Sockeye Salmon

Sockeye salmon are also known as Red Salmon, due to the bright redness of their flesh.
This feature makes the sockeye the most sought after in the commercial market.
Sockeyes typically run from mid-July until early September, and several rivers actually
get two runs of these great fighting fish. Sockeyes are the least aggressive of all the
salmon species, but once you learn how to hook them are great fun on a fly rod. Sockeye
salmon typically average between 6 to 15 pounds.

Chum Salmon
Also know as the Dog Salmon, these fish are often the least sought after for their table
fare. But, what they lack in flavor they more than make up for in fight. They are very
aggressive, and closely rival the silver in fight pound for pound. These bright, camo
striped fish run mid-July until late September, and average 7 to 12 pounds.

Rainbow Trout / Dolly Varden / Arctic Char / Grayling

These species can usually be caught at most lodges offering salmon fishing, but please ask before booking your trip. Some lodges cater specifically to Rainbow fishermen, so please grab your fly rod and give me a call. |

Northern Pike

Alaska has some of the top Northern Pike fishing the world has to offer. Fishing pressure is still very minimal, and occasional fish up to 53 inches are caught. Most lodges offer only catch and release to protect the specie. When conditions are right, fishing is non stop. Top this off with a day catching Sheefish (Tarpon of the North), and a day flying out for Salmon, and you have the recipe for an unforgettable trip. |
