Salmon Fishing In Alaska: 220,000, 220,001, And Counting!

"Thinking about salmon fishing in Alaska?

Have you heard the one about the 220,000 30-pounder Chinooks swimming past a camp site...?

Actually it isn't a joke - it happened for real in 2004 on the Nushagak river in the Bristol Bay area in Alaska - and in 2005 even more were expected to make the journey!

Admittedly no one knows how many were 30-pounders and how many smaller or bigger, but it is not uncommon for King Salmon (as Chinooks are known in Alaska) to weigh in at over 30 pounds. Many tip the scale at 70 pounds and some even weigh much more.

The Bristol Bay area offers many rivers suitable for fishing King Salmon, including the Togiak, Alagnak and Naknek.

However, the 275 miles long Nushagak river with its numerous tributaries, spectacular scenery and impressive diversity of river characteristics is considered the king of King Salmon rivers."
