Our waters abound with kings from rivers and hatcheries in Oregon, Washington, British Columbia, and Alaska.
Kings gorge themselves in the Gulf twelve months of the year.
The main runs pass Sitka from May through mid-August. Our kings move through in huge schools with multiple hook-ups commonplace. They fight harder than salmon close to the home river and those you keep for the table will taste better. Expect the kings to average close to 25-pounds with fish over 30 fairly common. In a nutshell, this is the best saltwater chinook fishing in the world.
