Fishing Lure Tips | Fishing Lure Guide!

Great News for Alaska King Salmon fishermen. The Nushagak river is one of the most famous salmon fisheries in the world, yet many sportsmen have yet to hear about it.
Known for the largest King Salmon runs anywhere in the world, anglers are discovering that a trip to this angler’s paradise means angling opportunities that go far beyond an angler’s expectations.
The Nushagak is a salmon fishery beyond belief, with 90,000 to 150,000 king salmon from 15 to 50 pounds returning each year. It is not uncommon to hook over 40 king salmon in a day.
In 2006, according to the Alaska Fish & Game forecast, the Nushagak river is expecting the best fishing year in over a decade. A total of 221 thousand Chinook salmon were forecast to return to the Nushagak River in 2006.
This forecast is 39% higher than the 10-year mean (157 thousand; range of 75 thousand in 2000 to 261 thousand in 2005). The 80% confidence bounds for the forecast ranged from 161 thousand to 281 thousand.
A run of 221 thousand Chinook salmon can potentially produce an expected harvest of 141 thousand fish. A harvest this size would be the largest harvest of Chinook salmon in the last 10 years and almost 3 times greater than the 10-mean harvest (53 thousand; range of 39 thousand in 2002 to 117 thousand in 1998).

Welcome back to "What’s Bitin". Here’s this weeks fishing report. The weather forecast for this week was supposed to be nice for fishing but Mother Nature sure didn’t hear it. In between the winds and the low tides we fished hard for Reds and Snook.
We caught a lot of Trout, Jacks and Ladyfish but we did get our Redfish and Snook. On the last day of the week I had two Anglers, Chris & Andy who are my good friends. (that’s them in this weeks photos). We fished on Andy’s boat in the Backcountry. The winds wouldn’t let up so we couldn’t do any poling on the flats. We hit the deep holes instead.
My buddy Chris hooked the first Redfish and lost him at the same time Andy hooked a Red and on the boat he came. I hooked a nice Snook but he broke my line (Thanks to Andy’s rigging). I was using his rod & reel. (just kidding Andy).
A little while later my little buddy Chris hooks a Redfish and saves the day. Sometimes it pays to fish the Flamingo and Capt Sable area where you can hide from the winds. Coming up this week we’ll be doing more fishing for Big Redfish, Snook and Trout. If you would like to take one of these Backcountry trips just call me on my boat phone (305) 394-0505 anytime. http://www.reelranger.com
