Local Alaska Fishing Report for Lake Creek and the Yentna River
- June 17, 2012 -- A few good pushes of Lake Creek king salmon has resulted in a successful past few days. Today a nice 37 pound male was caught upriver and many other nice fish in the 20 to low 30 lb. range. Water levels and clarity are ideal and cool water temps should keep kings aggressive well into early July. We're set up for great king fishing for the upcoming weeks. Deshka River weir counts in the nearby Susitna River drainage have spiked and the onset of the main king run is happening throughout the valley. Trout and grayling fishing remains awesome throughout the river system.
- June 14, 2012 -- A few rainy days have raised river levels a bit and the first big push of king salmon into Lake Creek is happening. Trout and grayling fishing remains outstanding fly fishing streamers and retrieving vibrax spinners. Look for water levels to drop and clear in the next 24-48hours. As kings run into the upper river, it looks to be ideal water clarity and temperatures for awesome king fishing this coming week!
- May 15, 2012 -- Spring break-up has officially commenced here on Lake Creek and the Yentna River system. Surprisingly, after near record snowfalls, the spring runoff has been minimal. Gradual warming trends has led to a slow constant melt-off. Dry fly fishing for grayling is very good and trout fishing should get be4ter as water temperatures begin to warm a bit and the salmon smolt migration begins. Trout in late May through early June are best fished with size 4-6 flashy streamers and smolt fly patterns and sink-tip lines. Silver Vibrax spinners are very effective retrieved on channel seams on the edge of eddies and mouth of backwater sloughs off the main river channel. King salmon should start showing up by the first of June with larger numbers of fish entering by June 10.
