Thank you for taking the time for the write up ArmyAirborne. Not really sure that tributary fishing is even a “thing” for Kings or cohos up there. Here in NY on the big river “The Salmon River” it’s considered combat fishing. Fishermen side by side and the fish have to run a gauntlet. We stay far away from these places when we fish and are always rewarded with peace and quiet as well as good numbers of unmolested fish.
Was surprised to find out that king runs can be closed overnight there. Since this will be a cruise excursion everything is catch and release. On Admiralty island we had a sow and 2 cubs come danger close to us feasting on humpy eggs. So much so that our guide took out the rifle. Pretty unnerving seeing a brown bear on its back legs staring at us 50 yards out and “HuFFing” at us...
I’ve seen some pretty high concentrations of fish but never like Alaska. Literally tens of thousands in a creek 6 feet wide. If it has to be humps or dollies or steel so be it, but it will be remote and from a deHaviland Beaver transport
FYI this is a pic from the Salmon River in the town of Pulaski, NY. Ground zero for snaggers, drunks, idiots and fighters. They should sell tickets or put it on pay-per-view
