- What kind of fish? Depending on the time of the season will determine what species of fish you will be able to target. The most popular fish to be caught in Resurrection Bay is Sockeye (Red) Salmon and Coho (Silver) Salmon. The best chance for Sockeye Salmon will be from mid to late May – end of July. The best chance to catch Coho Salmon is beginning of Aug – mid Sept and Pink (Humpy) Salmon will typically bridge the gap between the other species.
- What kind of fishing? What you are targeting will determine your fishing technique. Snagging is a unique fishing style that is only permissible in select parts of the world, and we use this style for most of our salmon fishing. When the Silvers are in, our guides will typically switch to throwing lures.
- What do I do with all of this fish I caught? Our Guides will fillet all of the fish you caught and show you where you can take it to get fully processed and shipped home!
Please Note: Tides affect our desired fishing timing and also our success at catching fish! Check-in time varies based on tides. We will confirm your start time closer to your fishing date. Call us with questions at 907-224-2600
