KING SALMON

KING SALMON FISHING

ABOUT King Salmon FIshing

King salmon are the largest species in the salmon family, some reaching upwards of 100 pounds! Known for their large size, strength, and delicious flavor, king salmon are considered to be one of the most prized fish species in the world. Kings are prized for their rich, oily flesh that is often considered the best-tasting of all salmon species. King salmon are also unique due to their extensive migration patterns, which can take them hundreds of miles from their birthplace in the ocean to their spawning grounds in freshwater rivers and streams. In Alaska, king salmon are typically found in the cold, clear waters of the state's abundant rivers and bays.

THE LARGEST SALMON IN ALASKA

King Salmon generally measure up to 36 inches in length and weigh up to 30 pounds. Spawning in streams that are larger and deeper than other salmon utilize, King Salmon spawn from midsummer to late summer, depending on the run. Fry and smolts usually stay in fresh water from one to 18 months before travelling downstream to estuaries, where they remain up to 189 days. King Salmon in the Talachulitna River are unusually large, up to 60 inches in length and up to 70 pounds.
