Alaska Sockeye Salmon Fishing, Lake Creek
Sockeye, "Red" salmon begin to appear in Lake Creek near the end of King season. Small preliminary
schools precede the major run of fish typically around the 20th of July. Fishing is phenomenal for Reds
when they first enter the creek in large numbers. A beautiful metallic green fish, Reds are acrobatic
fighters and a superior game fish on the fly. Reds run continuously and rapidly up Lake Creek and
abandon the lower river typically by the 1st of August. These fish reach an average size of 6-10 lbs.,
but several fish exceed the 10 lb. category.
