If it's a challenge you desire, Silver Salmon fishing can provide you with just that. A powerful and feisty fish, particularly when hooked, Silver Salmon put up the fight of a spirit that refuses to be beaten. To many, this salmon is considered the prize fish of an Alaska fishing trip.
The salmon travel in large schools and range from 10 to 15 pounds. However, finding one that weighs 20 pounds or more isn't a far-fetched fantasy. Just be sure you're in the proper physical condition to battle with such an aggressive competitor! This is sports fishing at its very finest, and it's what draws people from all over the world to Alaska's rivers and streams.
Similar to the Alaskan Rainbow Trout, Silver Salmon put on a show for the person who hooks them. It isn't a rarity to find them cartwheeling and flipping around, oftentimes near the fishing boat. You'll find yourself wet, exhausted and very entertained. Hopefully, you'll find yourself with a fish too!
