You’re probably picturing a scene that looks something like this: you’re on the river, with your line cast out into the water, and you’re just waiting for one of those delicious salmon to swim by. Then suddenly—BAM—the fish is on the hook! It’s a struggle to reel it in, but you do it. You land your catch and let everyone else on board admire it for a minute before you start the process over.
This sounds like a salmon fishing dream, doesn’t it? Well, if you’re fishing for salmon in Alaska, this dream can certainly become a reality—many times over. Alaska is a state that’s known for its fishing. It has some of the most premium salmon fishing in the world, with rivers and lakes full of fish ready to be caught by anyone who wants them. The salmon that inhabit these waters are large and tasty, and there’s no shortage.

The season runs from about May to September. That’s when the salmon runs are at their peak, and you’ll have the best chance of catching one of these tasty fish. You can catch your share of Alaska’s many salmon varieties: king, silver, sockeye, pink, and chum. Each has its own flavor and texture that makes it different from other kinds of fish around the world. You might even find yourself adopting a new favorite.
