Alaska Fishing Reports

Our fishing season started May 15, and the fishing and weather have been great so far. The king salmon abundance index for this season is literally the highest ever, and the king fishing has been outstanding. Kingfisher guests have been enjoying the higher-than-usual king limits of 2 per day, 6 per year, and catching limits virtually every day. The halibut fishing has also been very strong, with lots of perfect eaters in the 30-40 pound range, and a few barn doors over 100 pounds. One lucky angler landed a lingcod in the trophy category of over 55 inches, which equates to a 69 pound ling! The black and yelloweye rockfish have been hitting well also. We’re excited for the rest of this season, it’s shaping up to be a great one!
