Alaska - Big Timber Lodge - Saltwater and Freswater - a great value
Large Kings, Halibut, Silvers and Rockfish
Book now - This lodge sells out early.
Troll for kings up to 70-pounds. May 1st through July 15 is the Trophy King season. 30 to 60 pound kings are the average for this area. They troll for kings using downriggers and herring bait/hoochies. It is not unusual to land a halibut between 25-40 pounds while trolling for salmon. Peak months for kings are June and July. Halibut and rockfishing are excellent here from May through September. Late August to mid-September, silver salmon and dollies are in nine local streams.
July is a great time to fish these waters. King salmon, sockeye salmon, pink salmon, halibut, lingcod, gray cod, yelloweye, and black bass are all available during this time. An added bonus is the humpback, fin and orca whales are all starting to migrate through the area waters so it is not unusual to get a show from them.
In August the silvers start to show up with an average weight of fifteen pounds. After you catch your limit of silvers, there's plenty of other species to keep you busy - pink salmon, halibut, lingcod, gray cod, yelloweye, and black bass.
