General Information - Alaskan Sport Fishing
Fishing trips in Alaska fall into several categories based on species, location and
accomodations.

SPECIES:
Most fishermen coming to Alaska want to fish for salmon, giant rainbow trout,
arctic char, northern pike and/or arctic sheefish. Of the five (5) salmon species that are so
abundant in our waters. King (Chinook) salmon are perhaps the most sought after because
of their large size and powerful runs. Silver (Coho) salmon and red (sockeye) salmon are
prized on the plate as well as for their fighting ability.

LOCATIONS:
Our company concentrates on fishing expeditions in SouthCentral (Mat-Su and Kenai
Peninsula rivers) and SouthWest (Bristol Bay drainage rivers) Alaska, although expeditions can
be arranged for virtually anywhere in the state. Most fishing is freshwater river fishing (as opposed
to saltwater fishing except for salmon fishing in SouthEast Alaska and for halibut fishing in SouthCentral) and can be done out of tent camps, cabins or deluxe lodges as you desire. Some of
our lodges which are located on lakes provide fly out fishing to various rivers as part of their
package.

ACCOMODATIONS:
We offer a wide range of accomodations from worldclass lodges with all amenities to portable tent camps that are transported by rafts, boats, or bush planes. Some of our fishing packages combine the comfort of a premier wilderness lodge for part of your stay with several days or more at a more adventurous, prepositioned river tent camp.

King Salmon (Chinook Salmon)


The world record King salmon was taken in May of 1985 weighing 97 lbs. 4 oz. Every year sees thousands of kings weighing between 20 and 80, even 90 lbs caught somewhere in Alaska. Their fighting strength is legendary, and those that have battled these giants have memories that will last a lifetime.


Sockeye Salmon (Red Salmon)

These silvery fighters average 6-12 lbs. and most of its muscle. These salmon begin to clog many Alaskan rivers in late June and the runs end generally in late July. Since the Sockeye tend to hug the bank, most fishing is done from the shore. Methods include casting cohoe flies in a style found only on the Kenai River.





Silver Salmon (Coho Salmon)

Many anglers think silvers are the most fun of all the salmon. These fighters are notorious for their acrobatics, burning up drags and snapping rods. Silvers average 10-20 lbs., with lunkers nearing 25 lbs. Season begins in early August and ends September 30th. Methods include casting spinners, and back trolling.

Pink Salmon (Humpy Salmon) and Chum Salmon (Dog Salmon)

Pinks return in even numbered years and Chums every year in July and August. Pinks and Chums are the most aggressive salmon that returns to Alaska. Their sheer numbers and willingness to strike anything shiny makes them a favorite with kids, novice fishermen, and anyone who fishes for the thrill of the catch. Caught by casting
spinners and spoons.






Rainbow Trout

A trip to Alaska is not complete without a rainbow trout fishing trip. While some areas are fly-fishing only-Rainbow Trout trophy areas, Rainbows are plentiful throughout most river. For trophy rainbow in the 7 to 15 lb range, we do recommend a fully guided fishing trip.




 

Halibut

Pacific Halibut: Both sides of the Kenai Peninsula are home to some of the finest halibut fishing available anywhere. Limits of halibut weighing between 20 and 50 lbs. are the norm, with halibut between 100 and 300 lbs. coming in daily. Combination trips fishing for King salmon and Halibut are very popular saltwater trips. Halibut fishing runs from May through September with King-halibut combos having the greatest catch rates in June.
