Fisherman's Choice Charter fishes Alaska's Little Susitna River, Alaska's Deshka River and Talkeetna Alaska River in Mat-Su Valley, an easy drive north of Anchorage. We start fishing Alaska's Little Susitna River in Mid-May for Alaskan King Salmon.
 
We fish the Alaska Little Susitna River until the Alaska King Salmon run slows down, usually in mid-June. We then launch from our private launch in Houston, Alaska, a short drive north of Anchorage, fishing the upper end of Alaska's Little Susitna River for Alaska Sockeye Salmon that gather to spawn at Lake Creek.
After the close of Alaska's King Salmon Season, we once again fish the lower end of Alaska's Little Susitna River for Alaska's Silver Salmon.  Alaska's famous Little Susitna River hosts the second largest Alaska river run of Alaska Silver Salmon in Alaska.
In early June we start fishing the Alaska Deshka River for Alaska King Salmon. The Deshka River is the only river in Alaska's Matanuska Valley that allows the use of salmon eggs for bait for part of the king salmon season. The Deshka River boasts one of the largest runs of Alaska King Salmon in the state, with a known escapement of 30,000, usua;;y each year.

ALASKA FISHING SEASON
Alaska King Salmon fishing trips on the Little Susitna River with Bob Bujak and company.- Rochester, New York
Our fishing season begins in late April for Alaska Rainbow Trout, followed by Alaska King Salmon Fishing which begins in mid-May. Throughout the fishing season, we fish for Alaska King Salmon, Silver Salmon, Sockeye Salmon, Chum Salmon and Pink Salmon, as well as Alaska Arctic Char, Grayling and Rainbow Trout.When the Alaska King Salmon fishing season closes on July 13th, the Alaska Silver Salmon, Sockeye Salmon, Chum Salmon and Pink Salmon fishing is coming into full swing. The salmon season runs well into September here in South Central Alaska and is followed by trout fishing which is great until freeze-up in early to mid October.
The largest fish we boated last season, was a monster Alaska King Salmon caught on the Talkeetna River weighing in at 68 pounds, 9 ounces which is believed to be the largest King Salmon boated in the Mat-Su Valley in 2007. Unfortunately the proud angler had not signed up for the Mat-Su King Salmon Derby and the prize was taken by a 57 pound King Salmon for a $10,000 cash prize! So don't forget your King Salmon Derby ticket when you fish for the Alaska King Salmon with us in 2009!! 

HOW MANY FISH??!

For the Deshka River, Chinook Salmon (Kings), the weir count at the end of the season was a low 7,533 fish that went through the weir. However the King Salmon are on a 3 year cycle, so this count means, that this year will be extremely good fishing, since 2006 brought in 31,150 fish that were counted that went through the weir 3 years ago.
Alaska Salmon Fishing Trips on the Talkeetna River. Just 90 minutes from Anchorage Alaska enroute to Denali National Park. 
Unfortunately there is no count taken on the Talkeetna River. However, there was a very strong run of Alaska King Salmon and we were able to limit out almost every trip.
The Coho Salmon (Silvers) had a very strong run, 18,485 fish went through the Little Susitna River, and is expected to be a strong run again this year.
The Chum Salmon and Pink Salmon came in in large numbers as usual and though not the best eating fish, they are super fun to fight. The Sockeye Salmon run was also generous and we had a large number of clients leaving the river banks with full coolers and sore arms!
