Silver salmon offer an exciting day of fishing due to their acrobatic skills of leaping, jumping, diving and all the other tricks they will use to get off your hook. Pound per pound Silver Salmon are one of the most acrobatic and enjoyable fish that you can catch.

Silver Salmon caught within Resurrection Bay and the Gulf of Alaska usually run in the 8- 14 pound range with exceptions reaching up to 22 pounds. The waters are so abundant with feeder fish and the Silvers are voraciously feeding prior to running into fresh water for spawning that these fish can gain a pound or more a week during mid to late summer.

The Silvers begin to show up most years in late June to early July and usually are around through September. Although there are thousands of Silvers returning to our waters each season there seam to be times that are really peak. Nothing compares to hitting the Silvers at their peak where they are schooled up and feeding. Let’s just say that you will find very little time to even stop for a drink or a bathroom break.
