What Type of Fish Can You Catch?

Fishing with Favorite Bay Lodgetakes all the guesswork out of your excursion. We only use local guides, and all of them are Coast Guard certified. We also provide all necessary fishing equipment and will even process your catch.The exactspecies of fishyou encounter in Alaska waters depends on if you're fishing in saltwater or freshwater. Some of the most sought-after species include:

• Pacific salmon- You can find all five types of wild Pacific salmon range in this region. That means everything from smaller Sockeye Salmon to 60-pound King Salmon are in the area's waters. Watch out for the Coho (Silver Salmon) from July through September. They are known for their struggle on the hook and for throwing themselves vertically while fighting. Landing one of these beasts always comes with a story.
• Pacific halibut- Pacific halibut is anything but easy to reel in. This year-round catch packs a punch, especially between June and September when they are at their strongest. These fish can grow to eight feet in length and weigh an enormous 500 pounds. Be ready for a battle that can last hours if one falls for your bait.
• Pacific cod- Once seen as less of a conquest due to their schooling nature and aggressive tendency to bite, the Pacific cod is growing in popularity. This increase is due to several factors, including its excellent flavor in recipes and its use as bait for giant halibut.

Other popular species in this region include steelhead trout, rockfish, and cutties.
