Salmon are known to be one of the most delicious fish to eat. Because of this, salmon are a popular prize amongst fishing enthusiasts. Alaska is world famous for the millions of salmon swimming in its waters during the Summer months. Take a trip there, and you’ll literally see them leaping out of the rivers, almost begging to be caught. There are a few tips people ready to try their hand at salmon fishing should know. First, make sure you have the best bait. Salmon prefer live bait, especially fish roe, or eggs. Many fishermen also use cut bait or a strip of fish like a herring. In order to catch salmon, you’ll also need a sharp hook. Salmon are known for having thick jaws, so a strong, sharp hook is a necessity. If you’re river fishing, try the drift technique, where you cast upstream and then let your bait drift down. And if you want to increase your chances of catching a fish, try going on an overcast day. Salmon like low lighting conditions. The most important tip for any fisher, and especially a new fisher, is to hire a guide to help you find the best spots for salmon. Although there are salmon all over Alaska, the most famous fishing spot is the Kenai River. There you’ll find the largest and most famous salmon: the king salmon.
