SILVER SALMON FISHING
August 1 - Sept. 10

The Naknek River and it's local tributaries offer fantastic fishing for these aggressive feeders. When the Silver Salmon hit the fresh water from salt - they mean business, they are suckers for flash. Vibrax, Pixies, Spoons, Flash-n-Glos, Black/Silver and White/Red Jigs are some of the ways to lure this very acrobatic member of the salmon family. The Naknek River receives decent to strong Silver returns on the average, with a limit of 5 Silvers per day per person - weighing in up to 18 lb.

SOCKEYE SALMON FISHING
June 20 - July 31

The Alaska Dept. of Fish and Game sets and meets an escapement goal of one million Sockeye Salmon - that means a lot of fish. These fish roar through the Naknek, but a percentage stay and spawn in the mouth of the river, the rest go in to the lake and spawn in all of the local tributaries. On the Naknek River you may keep 5 per day per person. Once these Sockeye find their spawning areas on the Naknek River, you can try to catch them on spinners, spoons, coho flies, and egg-sucking leeches. Several thousand sockeye enter the Brooks river (which runs into Naknek Lake) and spawn in Brooks lake. The Brooks river offers great fly fishing with egg-sucking leeches, a green marvel, Montana Brassy and orange and chartreuse Comets. The Brooks river is all catch and release.

Over 1 million Sockeye Salmon travel up the Naknek River annually.
