PINK SALMON

PINK SALMON FISHING

ABOUT Pink Salmon FIshing

Pink Salmon are the smallest and most plentiful of all the Pacific Salmon. They average just 4.8 pounds, though the largest on record was 15 pounds and 30 inches long. They have small scales and large spots on their back, and large black oval blotches on both tail lobes. Spawning adults take on a gray color along their backs and sides, with a creamy white belly. The hump on their back gives them their nickname, Humpy.


Because of their size and their aggressive nature, pink salmon are a fun fish to catch. They are also unique in their distinctive spawning behavior, as they return to their birthplace in large numbers every other year, making them an important species for both commercial and recreational fishing industries.

PINK SALMON FISHING

Pink salmon, also known as Humpys, fishing at Lake Creek, Alaska, is amazing! This river is renowned for its abundant pink salmon runs, which occur every other year. During these runs, the creek is filled with mature pink salmon that are ready to spawn, making it an ideal location for fishing. The fishing season for pink salmon at Lake Creek typically starts in July and lasts until September. Fishermen can use a variety of methods to catch pink salmon, including fly fishing, spin casting, and trolling.
