The trout will be hungry as ever, though larger flies will be needed to compete with the numerous salmon eggs available. August - Coho Salmon will be entering some of the local rivers and lakes, Pinks are spawning in large numbers in most streams around the area, while the Sockeye will be more difficult to find later on. September - Some Sockeye fishing is still available, but the Pink and Chum are thinning out. Coho salmon are becoming more numerous by the day. Bring extra flies, their teeth will do catastrophic damage to your leader and flies while they tail dance in front of you.
Trout are just as exciting as ever, so light tackle is acceptable.
October - Coho fishing continues to improve in many areas. Sockeye are disappearing in all the streams now, but the trout continue to chase the spawning coho. November - Coho fishing improves as the water clears. Freezing weather will be upon us in the later weeks, however, there are fish available for the hardy. A late run of Chum will be in some tributarys of the upper Chilkat.
