When to Book:

For King Salmon May through the end of June is the prime time with late May and early June being the biggest run times. From July onward you have the option of fishing for Silver Salmon, Chum Salmon, Sockeye Salmon, and Pink Salmon. Later in July and through September is the best time to target the Silvers, If you are not familiar with Chum Salmon, you should get to know them. They are the second largest of the Pacific Salmon species and can hit the 35-pound mark. Kings range from 12-18 pounds ( young) to the 40+ pound older fish. Silvers are the third largest of the Salmon here and range to 20 pounds, though common in the 5-10 pound range. The Sockeye Salmon usually hit the 5-8 pound range and the Pink Salmon are the smallest and most populous and range in size to 6 pounds.
