Salmon fishing on Alaska抯 Togiak River is terrific fun for several different reasons. Here are a few of them.
暊牋 The area is remarkably beautiful and more remote than many popular salmon fishing rivers. You will be surrounded by the region抯 incredible landscapes ?rugged mountains and scenic river valleys teeming with Alaskan wildlife. The Togiak River is packed with fish because it抯 carefully managed by the US Fish and Wildlife Service and there抯 very little fishing pressure in the region. There抯 only one permanent fishing lodge on the river, so signs of humanity will be few and far between. Not only that, but you won抰 have much competition for big trophy fish like the King Salmon. Although it抯 possible you抣l see a few locals or someone who抯 on a fishing day trip, it抯 fairly common to not see anyone else while you are fishing on the Togiak.
暊牋 All five of the native Alaskan salmon species make spawning runs in the Togiak. The mouth of the Togiak empties into Alaska抯 renowned Bristol Bay (the easternmost arm of the Bering Sea), and the clear waters of the river itself provide outstanding spawning grounds for all five of the Pacific salmon species that are native to Alaska. Whether you抮e after Sockeye, Silver (Coho), King (Chinook), Chum or Pink (Humpy) Salmon, you抣l find them in the Togiak.
暊牋 The fishing抯 fine. The salmon fishing on the Togiak has been described as 搃ncomparable.?The Chinook start running in the middle of June, and the run continues until the end of July. You can catch some nice trophies, because some of the Chinook weigh up to 50 pounds. The Coho pick up where the Chinook leave off, beginning their spawning runs in early August. Coho run the Togiak until at least September 20th, which makes the season fairly lengthy. Some of Alaska抯 largest freshwater Coho Salmon have been caught on the Togiak, and they抮e feisty and full of fight.
暊牋 You can take a break from salmon. We all know salmon fishing抯 exciting, and it抯 the main reason most anglers visit Alaska. Sometimes, though, we just need a break. The Togiak River and its tributaries also host some of the finest Arctic Char, Rainbow Trout, Dolly Varden and Grayling fishing you抣l find anywhere.
暊牋 The fish are in superb condition, and they抮e ready to provide some fine eating. This pretty much sums it up. Get ready for some terrific fun!
