The Pink Salmon are the smallest of the Pacific Salmon species, averaging 4-6lbs, with bigger fish up to 10lbs available. They return to our local rivers every 2 years on the odd year (2005,2007,2009, etc). Just like the Sockeye and Chum Salmon, their runs are overwhelmingly huge, providing anglers with a very consistent and fun-filled sport fishery. Some years, the runs number in excess of 25 million salmon!

Just like the Chum and Sockeye salmon fishery, this too is considered a world-class fishery…(see our Higlight Fisheries). It is truly an amazing sight when you can see thousands of these salmon swimming all around you. Imagine the thrill of watching these salmon chase your fly and other offerings all day long…it's like being in an aquarium full of salmon! During peak times, hooking 30-50 salmon/person in an 8hr outing is the norm! In August and September, the Sockeye and Pink Salmon runs overlap. The only way to explain this kind of fishing is that "It's an angler's dream come true!" Some of our visiting guests have landed more than 200 pink salmon during their stays with us.

The Pink Salmon are very aggressive and are probably the easiest to catch out of the 5 salmon species. You can watch multiple fish chasing your presentation at any given time! They provide phenomenal fly-fishing opportunities to both beginner and expert fly anglers. If you're just learning how to fly fish, this is the fishery for you…there are so many fish around that you will catch fish! Traditional spinning and casting gear is also extremely effective using a variety of baits, and these fish are a lot of fun on light tackle.

The Pink Salmon are in our rivers from Aug-Oct, with fresh and silver fish available in Aug. and Sept. We fish several different rivers for them. Some rivers have runs that peak in August while others peak in September. Please give us a call for more detailed information… see "species availability chart".

The Pink Salmon fishery is truly a great fishing experience for everyone who enjoys fishing and the outdoors. It's perfect for kids who are just learning how to fish and for fun family outings. It's also great for corporate or group events, especially if you want to impress someone with a fun-filled and exciting day of fishing! Don't miss the next Pink Salmon run……..book your trip today!
