Take A Soldier Fishing At Fisherman’s Choice, office manager and guide Terri said the business also decided
to volunteer spaces on their boats after reading one of Nashif’s postings. “The service members not only bust their humps, but they put their lives on the line for our freedom,” she said. “Without them, where would we be?“ The service members love to be able to get away from their combat boots and put on some wading boots, not only to catch fish, but relax
The Fishing
Alaska Fishing Season. Our fishing season begins in late April for Alaska Rainbow Trout, followed by Alaska King Salmon Fishing which begins in mid-May. When the Alaska King Salmon fishing season closes on July 13th, the Alaska Silver Salmon, Sockeye Salmon, Chum Salmon and Pink Salmon fishing is coming into full swing. The salmon season runs well into September here in South Central Alaska and is followed by trout fishing which is great until freeze-up in early to mid October.
The largest fish we boated last season, was a monster Alaska King Salmon caught on the Talkeetna River weighing in at 68 pounds, 9 ounces which is believed to be the largest King Salmon boated in the Mat-Su Valley in 2007. Unfortunately the proud angler had not signed up for the Mat-Su King Salmon Derby and the prize was taken by a 57 pound King Salmon for a $10,000 cash prize! So don’t forget your King Salmon Derby ticket when you fish for the Alaska King Salmon with us in 2009!!
HOW MANY FISH??! For the Deshka River, Chinook Salmon (Kings), the weir count at the end of the season was a low 7,533 fish that went through the weir. However the King Salmon are on a 3 year cycle, so this count means, that this year will be extremely good fishing, since 2006 brought in 31,150 fish that were counted that went through the weir 3 years ago.
Unfortunately there is no count taken on the Talkeetna River. However, there was a very strong run of Alaska King Salmon
2009 ALASKA SALMON FISHING PREDICTIONS.
