Beginning in early July the first lucky Fish
Kodiak Adventures client hooks into the first
acrobatic Silver or Coho salmon of the season.
The first fish of the season are usually small 6-
10 lbs., adding a few fish to our catch of king
salmon for the day. By mid July we're looking
at limits of 8-12 pound coho to accompany our
limits of king salmon. These are aggressive
fish, feeding heavily, growing a pound a week
during their final summer in the salt water. By
August all bets are off, as thousands of coho
move into the fishing holes. This is“Chaos
Coho fishing” time. These salmon fight and
explode, tail walk across the water, long hard
drag burning runs, then straight back at you!
Suddenly all the rods on the boat are bent with
fish ripping out line in every direction. As you
look down in the water you can see hundreds
of salmon chasing the salmon that are hooked,
biting at the weights, swivels and any thing that
looks like it might be eatable to them.
Bent fishing rods, burning arms,crossed lines, fish all over the deck and cold saltwater showers
are the norm that’s "Chaos fishing at it’s finest. By mid August 15-18 lb. Fish are common with an
occasional fish pushing the 20 pounds. In September 15-18 pounds is the average size with
many fish over 20 pounds. The State of Alaska sport fishing record for a silver salmon is 26
pounds. Records are there be broken. Ugak Bay has several rivers that all support strong
coho salmon runs. All those runs add up to incredible number of fish aggressively feeding in
the salt water. Ocean caught coho are excellent eating. It has a moderate to high amount of fat,
which is considered essential when judging taste. These fish are all WILD ocean fresh fish, in
the prime of their lives. The salt water limit for Coho is 5 fish per day. There are no size
restrictions or annual limits.
