Sockeye Salmon

 


Sockeye or red salmon are usually the first species to return to the river each year.

Best fishing is found from the last few days in June through the early part of July. Sockeyes easily outnumber the other species, and when you consider that their run lasts only a few weeks, you can imagine that when the sockeyes are in, the river is teeming with fish.

For the 2004 season, the sockeye run on the Alagnak River was estimated by the Alaska Dept. of Fish & Game to be an incredible 5.6 million fish!

Sockeyes are a beautifully colored fish, which have a reputation of not biting as aggressively as other species. They are the most difficult species of salmon to catch and challenge even the most skilled fly-fisherman, yet with the help of our expert guides providing you with the right flies, offer great fishing to the less experienced angler.


 

Other Species:

King Salmon     Sockeye Salmon     Chum Salmon     Pink Salmon     Silver Salmon
Rainbow Trout     Grayling     Arctic Char     Northern Pike
