Fishing salmon in Alaska - I focus on fishing for King Salmon (Chinook), Red Salmon (Sockeye) und Silver Salmon (Coho), the most popular species, because if there are Pink or Chum in the water, you will catch plenty of these anyway.| advertisement |

Salmon fishing on the Russian River, Alaska
Combat Fishing!
No doubt the term sends chills down the spines of all those anglers
who have experienced this phenomena. Unfortunately popular fisheries anywhere in the
States which are easily accessible and produce lots of fish tend to draw crowds.
And in Alaska, the Russian River sockeye fishery holds the dubious distinction
of being the first stream in the state to coin the phrase
I bet you don't want to come to Alaska to see or participate in sceneries like that.
Please follow the links on the left to learn where and how to fish for the different salmon species.

Guides and accomodation for salmon fishing on the Kenai River.
Anyone fishing the Russian River - Kenai River Fly Fishing Only area should consult the Sport Fishing Regulations booklet available at all tackle shops, ADFG offices and many other locations before heading out. Alaska fishing regulations vary from stream to stream and even fishery to fishery within a stream and there is little consistency as it relates to a particular fish species. The reason behind this is that each fishery requires a certain amount of protection and the Department of Fish & Game sets Bag & Possession limits and tackle requirements/methods according to the amount of protection that fishery requires.
