The flesh of feeders can be red, white or a combination of the two. These fish run 15 to 60 pounds. Dianne developed this fishery in Resurrection Bay. Spawner kings are available in our waters three months a year. These fish are on the last part of their journey through life and are heading to the rivers where they were born to spawn and die.
Spawners have firm red flesh.
Spawners have a large layer of fat which sustains them on their voyage up river. They will not feed once they enter fresh water. The possession limit of king salmon is two per person per day, year round. Coho salmon generally run from 8 to 15 pounds. Coho flesh is redder than king salmon, and has less oil content.
