Remote
Alaska Fly Fishing
Species
Pink Salmon
Alaskan pink salmon are best known to run in even years,
but in our remote region of Alaska the odd year pink salmon
fishing is just a strong as the even year pink salmon fishing.
Fish range from 2 – 8 pounds, average 3 – 4 pounds,
and are best caught in the salt at the mouths of streams and
rivers.
Mid-July through mid-August, pink salmon appear in absolute
staggering numbers schooled up in the saltwater, staging for
their entrance into freshwater. In this saltwater playground,
anglers can expect to catch mind-boggling numbers of fish,
and will come to appreciate these little feisty powerhouses
when fought on 6 or 7 weight fly fishing gear.
Belive it or not, you can even successfully fly fish for
pink salmon with top water "poly wog" flies. And
it's pretty common for our Alaska fly fishing guides to hear,
"I've never caught a pink salmon that bright
before!" Again, the reason they are so bright is our
close proximity to the ocean...
