Follow on Google News | Alaska Expecting Terrific Salmon Run in 2015, Bob’s Cabin & Guide Service Weighs InAlaska is expecting yet another bumper run of salmon in 2015, which Bob’s Cabin & Guide Service says will provide some fantastic sport fishing opportunities.
By: Bob's Cabin & Guide Service According to Runs and Harvest Projections for Alaska's 2015 Salmon Fisheries and Review of the 2014 season by the Alaska Department of Fish and Game, regional catch projections for the summer are up all over the board. An incredible 59 million sockeye salmon catch is expected to hit Alaska in the summer, and a whopping 140 million pink salmon are expected to be caught. Chum salmon harvests are also expected to double this season to more than 17 million, and 4.6 million coho salmon are expected as well. "The great Sockeye, or Red Salmon, run that is projected for Alaska this season will provide some fantastic sport fishing opportunities for anglers visiting the Last Frontier," said Bob Standish, Owner of Bob's Cabin & Guide Service. "These fish entering the famous Kenai River in South-central Alaska average anywhere from eight to 10 pounds and offer an outstanding sport fishing challenge on fly rods or light spinning tackle." The projected numbers for all these different Alaska fish species are virtually record breaking. The 33% increase in sockeye salmon over last year’s harvest, which hauled in 44 million sockeye and has left tons still in freezers, is the largest one since 1995. Numbers for pink salmon are projected to be about 46% higher than last year’s numbers. Lastly, chum salmon harvests are rebounding and doubling. This is all great news to fishers, because not only will this bountiful amount of fish provide ample opportunities and challenges for fishers, but also because these fish taste great. According to Standish: "The quality of the meat these Sockeye provide is second to none on the dinner table."
