This highly prized sport fishing species is one of the least abundant salmon species in northern Southeast Alaska, but grows the largest and is a powerful, enduring fighter.
King salmon inhabit the waters of Southeast Alaska year-round. Large king salmon bound for spawning grounds and weighing up to 70 pounds are around from late April through June.
Immature kings ranging from 10 to 40 pounds come through the Sitka area and remain in the area to feed during August and September. Persistent anglers can find a few scattered fish throughout winter. Anglers visiting the Sitka area most frequently ask, when ís the best time to fish for king salmon?
Fishing improves greatly with spring weather in late April, but the prime time is from late May through the month of June.
