Fall "King" Salmon Fishing
This season is short with the best fishing from mid-September to early October
The re-introduction of the Fall King Salmon to the Lower Salmon River has been a success and we are seeing great catch rates the last few years and should continue. These fish are super fun to catch and make for some epic battles. Although some are in good shape and good for the smoker these fish are close to spawning and the quality of the meat might vary and are usually soft by early October.
