Alaska King - Chinook Salmon Fishing &
Pictures
near Anchorage, Wasilla, Alaska
Little Susitna River, Alaska --
King or Chinook salmon are Alaska's largest
salmon, and run from saltwater to Little Susitna River's freshwater
holes through mid July. Fishtale River Guides runs king fishing
charters on Little Susitna and Deshka Rivers from May through July
13, the season's final day. Little Su chinook average 30 pounds,
with fat 40 - pound fish common, and exceptional fish topping 50 and
60 pounds. The State and World sportfishing record biggest chinook,
caught on Kenai River, weighed 97 pounds 4 ounces! Catching the Big
Chinook on beautiful little rivers, like Little Su or the Deshka,
challenges even the best fishermen, and defines Alaska fishing.

"I have been fishing
with Fishtale River Guides for 7 or 8 years.
The guides are always courteous and helpful. We fish for king and silver
salmon and due to their knowledge and experience I have always come home
with my limit. I would not hesitate to recommend them. They are the
best!!"
-- Nora Hathhorn, Wasilla,
Alaska
"For the last 7
years Fishtale has given me and my family great fishing adventures no
matter what the weather, water conditions, or fish availability. Andy
Couch has always made it fun to be on the river."

Anchorage, Alaska
Challenge the Chinook -- Power Fishing at
its Best!
After hooking a king you may battle half an hour catching your monster.
If you hook a big fish from the bank, and it torpedoes downriver, be
prepared for a wild ride. A large king can strip all the line from
your reel in seconds, so we'll be jumping in the boat, chasing your
salmon, and retrieving lots of line, before your trophy tires, and
you can lead it to the net. This is power fishing at it's best.
Accept the challenge and let Fishtale help you catch Alaska's
largest salmon.
