For those of you that might be going to Sitka shortly here's a little report. Both the king and silver salmon fishing has been quite good the past few days. Even with the commercial salmon trolling season just finishing up there are still good numbers of fish around. The silver salmon fishing has been quite good in most of SE Alaska recently, everyone to whom we have spoken with the past week all report decent fishing. Though most sport fishermen do not really target the pinks of chums both species are quite numerous at the present time and do contribute to the action.
Here's a nice average Sitka king caught by Dave Hardy.
