Salmon runs begin in May and extend through the end of September, and different species appear at different points throughout the season. Fortunately, the experienced team at Pybus Point Lodge knows when the Alaskan waterways are swimming with each Pacific species.

Chinook Salmon
Alaska’s official state fish, Chinook – also known as King Salmon -- are the ultimate catch for fishing enthusiasts around the world. They’re a challenging species to land due to their formidable size and strength, as the hard-fighting fish can weigh upwards of 50 pounds. The fishing regulations for Chinooks can change regularly in Alaska, and they are never guaranteed, but if you plan your salmon fishing trip with us, our highly skilled guides will do everything possible to help you connect with a King.

Sockeye Salmon
Among the five species of salmon found in Alaska, Sockeye or Red salmon are by far the most abundant. Millions swarm the waterways of the Inside Passage, but while they’re easy to spot, the 4- to 15-pound fish put up a fight when hooked. And, Sockeyes aren’t just an exciting target – according to many people, they’re the best-tasting species of wild-caught salmon. However, although they are plentily in Alaska, they are the least species found in the waters around Pybus Point Lodge and are not one that we specifically target at Pybus Point.

Chum Salmon
Chums, also known as Dog Salmon or Keta Salmon, are among the larger species of salmon that swim the cold waters off Alaska, averaging between 10and 15 pounds and sometimes growing to three times that size. Chum salmon fishing vacations are becoming quite popular, as anglers appreciate thedifficulty of reeling in the strong, aggressive fish – once hooked, chums battle hard and struggle relentlessly to stay in the water.

Pink Salmon
Compared to the other Pacific species, Pinks, or Humpy, salmon are the smallest, with an average weight of about 5 pounds. But their size doesn’t stop anglers on Alaska salmon fishing trips from targeting pinks, as the fish not only fight when hooked – they can also be caught in large numbers. However, because of their unique life cycle, Pink salmon are easier to land in even-numbered years.

Coho Salmon
Fishing enthusiasts consider Coho salmon to be the spunkiest of the Pacific species, as their speed, aerial acrobatics and fighting spirit make them hard to hook – and fun to catch. Also called Silver salmon, these fish typically only weigh in at around 8 to 12 pounds when fully grown, but Coho have been known to take even experienced anglers on a wild ride.  Of all the species of Salmon, Pybus Point Lodge is known for it’s Coho or Silver Salmon runs.
