Anglers in Need of Guidance in Alaska

The icy cold waters of Alaska are legendary for having the best salmon fishing in the United States and perhaps the world. It's a popular pastime for many residents and non-residents alike. Alaska fishing guides work feverishly every summer helping anglers fish for salmon and other popular species. Local knowledge and an understanding of the salmon's migration patterns of make guides indispensable for those unfamiliar with Alaska's fisheries.

Armed with a guide's expertise and cunning, recreational fishermen may target five species of Pacific salmon. The most sought after species of salmon include the Alaskan King Salmon (Chinook), silver salmon (Coho) and Red (Sockeye), Pink and chum salmon are also available for fisherman wishing to target those species.

When and Where to Catch Alaska Salmon

Most guides recommend fishing for salmon during the spring and summer months. Salmon season begins in May and extends into September. Salmon can travel for thousands of miles from their native streams during migration and they eventually return to the same streams they were hatched.
