The pinks, sockeye, chum and silver salmon are running in verious rivers at the moment. The pinks run in the rivers in bountiful numbers every year but even more in even numbered years. The river I fished had the river stacked with pinks. Its mind boggling to see this. Wave after wave of fish making its way up river. In the small section of river I fished there had to be at least 80 pink salmon in front of me at any given time.
The sockeye salmon second run is making its way up the Kenai River as we speak. This run typically goes into the millions of fish.
Chum salmon is plentiful and you can catch them in numerous rivers with ease.
The silvers aren't as plentiful but you can catch them in the more productive rivers.
The kings, well.....long live the king but their numbers are diminshing and to catch one is getting harder and harder. The Alaska state fish, the king is the hardest hit by all the trawlers and it has shown its effects in the last three years.
This is all in the south central region of Alaska (where I live).
I got jittery just reading this. I can't imagine what it would be like to see this in person.AKnook said:In regards to pink salmon?
