Alaska salmon fishing attracts anglers from around the world. Not only will you catch a variety of salmon, you will also experience the unsurpassed beauty that Alaska has to offer. You have the opportunity to fish from shore, charter a boat or fly in via a floatplane or helicopter to the most remote locations. The best part is that Alaska salmon fishing starts about mid May and runs to about the middle of October. That's almost 5 months of world class salmon fishing.

During the month of May you can fish for the mighty Chinook in rivers like the Kenai, Kasilof and Deep Creekinilchik. You can try for them in salt water at Cook Inlet. In June, in addition, you can fly in and fish for them at the Chuite, Karluk and Theodore Rivers. You can fly in and fish for Sockeye in the Kenai and Russian Rivers. In July, The Kings are in the Kenai and Kasilof Rivers or you can fly in and try for them at the Karluk River and Bristol Bay Drainages. They'll be in salt water at Cook Inlet and Kachemak Bay. You'll find Coho in the Kenai and Deep Creekinilchik Rivers and Sockeye in the Kenai and Russian Rivers. It just keeps going like this until October!

Obviously, with over 3000 rivers and streams, Alaska salmon fishing offers the most diverse and extensive salmon fishing in the United States if not the world, and to list all the angling opportunities would take untold days. Suffice it to say that if you ever have the chance to journey to the great state of Alaska, do not hesitate to sample some Alaska salmon fishing while you’re there. It will be a trip of a lifetime
