Fishing Lake Creek Alaska

Alaska Pink Salmon Fishing, Lake Creek

 

Pink, or "humpback" "humpy" salmon enter into Lake Creek by Mid-July in large numbers. Pinks are the smallest of the salmon species, but are the most numerous. Alaska pink salmon run 3-6 lbs and provide an excellent fight on light tackle. Being extremely aggressive, they attack any lure or fly presented in the correct manner. Both spin and fly fishing for pink salmon is highly productive and you can expect to catch large numbers of fish in a variety of locations throughout Lake Creek and surrounding tributaries.
