Fish Kodiak Adventures/ coho Salmon Fishing

To add a whole new twist to Fish Kodiak Adventures "Chaos Coho" experience we also fish
them with a fly rod. With a big Coho on your fly and you holding on to the butt end of
an 8 weight SAGE fly rod you are not just fighting a battle, it is an all out war. Whether
you are a seasoned fly fisher or just a beginner. You will undoubtedly enjoy the experience.
Most seasoned fly fisher's bring their own arsenal of fly rods, for this fishing we recommend
you bring your 8 weight fly rod, matching reel, sink tip line. Rick has extra add on sink tips
to get those flies down where they need to be. If you don't have a fly rod or do not want to
take your fly rod out on the boat. Rick has 8 & 9 weight SAGE rods outfitted with Ross
Canyon reels and fast sink tip fly line.

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 fishing” time .These salmon fight and explode, tail walk across the
water, long hard 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 20lb. Mark. In September 15-18lb. is the
average size with fish over some over 20Lb. 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.
