	Chinook Salmon, otherwise known as Kings, are Alaska's biggest and most prized Salmon. Kings can be caught year round, but the height of their season is late May through June
	Coho Salmon, or Silvers, known for their acrobatics and hard fights are a favorite among most Alaskans. They start running in July and peak in late August and early September
	Chum or Dog Salmon are running June and July and are great smoked
	Pink Salmon, or Humpies, as they are commonly called start arriving in June and are around until August. They are normally canned and sold in the markets as Pink Salmon
	Sockeye Salmon or Reds as they are called because they turn red when they spawn, don’t normally eat Herring or bite on artificial lures. The Reds are around in June and July and can be caught by fly fishing with a special lure.
	Halibut Our season is from May to September with the fish moving into local waters in June, July and August. We have the new 2011 required 6 fisherman permits to fish Halibut in Alaska. We use 2 speed reels with 80lb Spectra line and 200lb class rods. We carry jigging gear as well as bait gear. We normally fish 180 to 400 feet. The rules for Halibut limits change each year. Call us for the latest limits.
