Our 2017 opener at Alaska West is only a few days away, and we’re happy to report that our annual run of king salmon are trickling in as planned.

In fact, earlier this week, after a long day of prepping camp for the upcoming season, Deneki team member, Chris Vague, hit the water for a few swings where he picked up this beauty, marking the first landed adult king at Alaska West of the season.

They’re here!
