The best fishing traditionally occurs 1 hour before and several hours after high tide, although low tide can be equally as fun. Ample pay parking is available and several vendors sell the preferred bait and tackle. One word of caution, due to the tidal nature of this fishery, the creek banks are mostly mud. Take great care where you plant your feet. Located approximately 25 miles south of Anchorage on the Seward Highway, this fishery is a true local favorite.
Bird Creek is well known for producing a great run of feisty silver salmon.
This fishery traditionally begins in early July and ends in early September, with the run peaking in mid July to mid August. The creek also experiences a big run of pink salmon. There is some camping available. Most parking occurs along the Seward Highway. Fishing is traditionally best with the tides.
