Fishing Lake Creek Alaska

Alaska King Salmon Fishing, Lake Creek

 

King "Chinooks" salmon are the largest of the salmon species and are renowned for their tackle-testing runs and long sporting battles. Kings enter into Lake Creek in early June and good fishing continues into early July. The Alaska Department of Fish & Game closes Alaska rivers to King fishing typically on the 13th of July so they may productively spawn and complete nature's cycle. King Salmon typically run between 20 - 40 lbs. In Lake Creek with trophies running in excess of 50 pounds.

Equipment Needed for Fly-Fishing King Salmon

Heavy shooting sink-tips with shooting fly lines & large, weighted flies with sharp strong hooks are needed for succesful fly fishing for Alaska King Salmon!
Rods: We use 11 - 12 weight fly rods in order to cast the desired tackle as well as to exert enough pressure to have a prayer of turning the head of a 40+ lb. King Salmon. Many of our fly fishing guests prefer the 2-handed spey rod, 9-10 wt., 12-15ft in length for ease of casting, presentation and strength for fighting big king salmon in fast water.
Reels: Large! 3.5-4.0 inch spools. & a strong, dependable drag system. i.e. Billy Pate Bonefish saltwater reels, Sage 5500, Ross Saltwater, etc.
