King Salmon

Jun 25 2010

Nice Fish, Brian.

Dean River Chinook Salmon are pretty awesome critters. At  BC West we catch them mostly in the bottom mile and a half of river, so they’re hot and bright, and just like their steelhead cousins, they’re as powerful as they come.  We hook quite a few of them and we land lots of smaller ones,…

Just a Friendly Reminder

…of what’s happening at Alaska West right now. There’s a bunch of people up there chasing king salmon with swung flies and two handed rods.  They’re chasing rainbow trout too. More on King Salmon Dec Hogan’s King Rig Greg Thomas on Fresh Fish George Cook’s King Quiver

Rigging Stinger Hooks

Tube flies and stinger hooks are very popular with anglers who chase salmon and steelhead with fly rods, for a few reasons. They allow you to change your hook without changing your fly. They allow you to fish a big fly without fishing a hook with a long shank, which helps you land more fish….

The Kanektok River is Open for King Salmon Fishing

The Kanektok River, home of Alaska West, is open for king salmon fishing. Many of you have heard of the emergency closure affecting king salmon fishing on the Kenai River that was announced this past Friday.  We feel really bad about the status of the Kenai – it’s an incredible river, and we and lots…

King Salmon Fly Selection

George Cook pays us another visit today in video form, this time to talk about what 22 lucky anglers are going to be doing a week from today – selecting flies to use when chasing king salmon at Alaska West on the Kanektok. We filmed George in February of this year.  He was looking forward…

The Intruder

Warning: this is a very technical post about fly tying.  If you’re not interested in the subtleties of tying one of the most influential modern steelhead and salmon patterns, click here to look at a bunch of pictures of fish. Jerry French may not have a household name in the world of anadromous angling in…

King Salmon. Spey Rod. Chile.

If you’ve spent any time at all around our web site, you know that we’re kind of nutty when it comes to spey fishing.  If you’ve followed our first few seasons operating at Chile West, you also may know that there are some pretty incredible king salmon down there. We’ve been catching these chinooks on…

Oh My.

We recently came across another picture of our friend Jason and the rather ludicrous Chinook/king/giganto salmon with which he had a pretty favorable encounter at BC West on the Dean River a couple of years back. Chinooks this size on the Dean get hooked fairly regularly by fly anglers, but landing them is another story…

Kings on the Swing

In the angling circles of the Pacific Northwest, there are still some doubters out there.  We know because we run into them. “Kings don’t eat swung flies – you have to force-feed them nymphs.” “Sure, you might hook one, but then it’s like reeling in a mattress.” Folks who say those things have been fishing…
