SALMON, TROUT, GRAYLING & NORTHERN PIKE – SKWENTNA, AK
Rainbow Trout, Arctic Grayling and Northern Pike are always available throughout the summer months of June, July, August and September. All five species of Pacific Salmon venture up the Susinta and Yentna River drainages to find their spawning beds and are still chrome bright upon their return to their home waters. Whether the fish are upstream or at the mouth of the rivers, your fishing guide has a prop boat and a jet boat at their disposal to get you to the fish.
YOUR DREAM ALASKA FISHING TRIP
The angling here is so productive, your daily bag limit is almost always achieved. Shortly after the king run ends (currently closed) in mid-July, pinks and sockeyes arrive in large numbers. Even before the pinks and sockeyes leave, the silver salmon weighing in at 6 to 12 Ibs., will start running. These fish come with incredible aerobatics and a very aggressive nature.
FISHING WITH NORTHWOODS
Located on Fish Lakes Creek (one of many we fish), 15 miles from the historic town of Skwentna, and only 3 miles from Lake Creek, Alaska. We also fish up to 6 other Alaska Creeks within boating distance of our fishing lodge. Lake Creek (the largest of the rivers we fish) is 60 miles running North to South from Chelatna Lake in the Alaska Mountain Range to the Yentna River.
It’s really important to do your research before you settle on a fishing trip in Alaska. The regulations are constantly changing, which affects which types of fish you can keep and how many. On top of that, the license requirements and costs can also change from year to year. Fortunately, we’ve put together a helpful selection of fishing planning guides that should be able to answer any questions you have.
