While many people agree that the summer months are the best for catching Salmon in Alaska, there are many who enjoy fishing for the elusive winter kings that hang back during the winter months. While not as abundant, there are still great fishing opportunities. Ketchikan is a great place to book your next fishing trip. Anglers Adventures and Outfitters wants to be your choice for lodging and boat charters. Winter King Salmon “Winter” kings are feeder kings that are targeted during the winter months. A feeder king salmon is on its four to five-year journey of growth. These winter kings are much higher in oils and are the most remarkable fish in the ocean. These magnificent and tasty fish usually weigh 15-30lbs and fight like crazy. Are there limits as to how many I can catch? Alaska Department of Fish and Game regulations do not require an angler to list these fish on their license from September through March. The limit is set at two king salmon per day. Anglers only need to have their current fishing license and a valid king salmon stamp for the current year. What about the winter weather? Winter feeder king salmon fishing is not without its challenges. Winter storms are often hitting Alaska one after another for days at a time, requiring some postponement of trips due to sea conditions and safety concerns as well as for the comfort of the guests on board. If you can adjust to these unexpected conditions and keep your schedule flexible for rebooking, it will be worth the effort! Alaska has a long winter season, and the fishing is good from the beginning of October to the end of May when the summer trips are kicking into gear for halibut, rockfish, silver salmon, and the feeder kings. What else is prime for catching during the winter? There are other species that are populous during the winter months. Halibut, crab, shrimp, rockfish, squid, and steelheads are also abundant in the waters off Alaska.
