Fall Fishing Report 2020
* Just a reminder to all our anglers, please do your part to help slow the spread of Covid-19 by following and reviewing the current State of Alaska Health Mandates in effect. This includes practicing social distancing while sport and personal use fishing and wearing a face covering when fishing and if you are needing fishing supplies from your local store as indicated in Health Alert 010.
Freshwater Fishing
- Fishing for Arctic char and Dolly Varden should continue to be good to excellent throughout the fall until ice-up. Egg and flesh patterns should be effective with spoons, jigs and spinners being good options as well.
- Fishing for rainbow trout is traditionally good in all Bristol Bay drainages until ice-up. Egg patterns should work well in the earlier parts of the fall season with flesh patterns become more dominant as the fall season progresses.
- Fishing for northern pike should continue to be good around weeded bays and sloughs until ice-up.
- Fishing for coho salmon should begin to decline as the fall progresses with fish becoming scarce later in the fall.
