Bristol Bay Alaska Daily Fishing Report
Bristol Bay Alaska Daily Fishing Report
Transcribed
28 SEP 2024 · As of September 28, 2024, the fishing scene in Bristol Bay, Alaska, is wrapping up the season with some notable activities.
### Weather and Tides
The weather in Bristol Bay is expected to be partly cloudy with a high of around 45°F and a low of 35°F. Winds will be moderate, blowing at about 10 mph. Tides will be relatively stable, with a high tide at 9:34 AM and a low tide at 3:34 PM. Sunrise is at 7:43 AM, and sunset will be at 6:47 PM.
### Fish Activity
The sockeye salmon season has been slower than previous years, but there is still some activity, particularly for coho salmon. As of the latest reports, coho salmon fishing on the Togiak River and the Wood River is good and should continue through mid to late September.
### Catch Numbers
Yesterday's catch numbers were lower as the season winds down. The bay-wide catch has been around 380,000 fish, with the majority coming from the Naknek/Kvichak districts.
### Best Lures and Bait
For coho salmon, orange, pink, or silver spinners are highly effective. Fly anglers can also use streamers to catch these silvers. For resident species like rainbow trout, Arctic char, and northern pike, spinners, spoons, and flies continue to work well. Since salmon spawning is ongoing, flesh and egg patterns are extremely effective.
### Hot Spots
- **Togiak River**: Known for its good coho salmon fishing, this river is a prime spot as the season concludes.
- **Wood River**: This river is also excellent for coho salmon, with both hardware and fly fishing methods proving successful.
- **Naknek, Alagnak and Alagnak Drainages**: These areas are good for rainbow trout, using spinners, streamers, or egg patterns.
Overall, while the sockeye season has been slower, there are still plenty of opportunities to catch other species in the Bristol Bay area. Make sure to check the latest emergency orders and regulations before heading out.

24 SEP 2024 · As of September 24, 2024, the Bristol Bay area is experiencing a mix of autumnal conditions, setting the stage for an exciting day of fishing.
**Weather Conditions:**
The morning starts with a crisp temperature of around 45°F (7°C), with a gentle breeze of about 5 mph. There is a slight chance of light precipitation, so it's a good idea to pack a light rain jacket. The skies are partly cloudy, providing a pleasant backdrop for your fishing adventure.
**Water Conditions:**
The water levels in the rivers and streams are at their seasonal lows, but still offer ample opportunities for fishing. The water temperature is around 40°F (4°C), which is ideal for the late-season salmon and trout. The clarity of the water is good, making it easier to spot fish and present your lures effectively.
**Best Fishing Spots:**
For today, focus on the Nushagak and Naknek/Kvichak rivers, which have been producing excellent catches of sockeye and coho salmon. The Togiak River is also a hotspot, especially for coho salmon, with reports of good fishing through mid to late September.
**Bait and Tackle:**
Given the species present, use flesh and egg patterns for both salmon and trout, as these are extremely effective during the spawning season. For coho salmon, try using orange, pink, or silver spinners, as well as streamers and twitching jigs. When targeting rainbow trout, mimic the egg stage with appropriate color and size to entice these hungry fish.
**Fish Activity:**
The fish are actively feeding on salmon eggs and flesh, particularly in areas where salmon are spawning. Rainbow trout are gorging on these high-calorie food sources, making them strong and aggressive. Expect to find them in the deeper pools and runs of the rivers, especially where the current is slower.
**Local Events and Regulations:**
Remember to check the latest emergency orders and advisory announcements. The bag and possession limits for sockeye salmon have been increased to 10 fish in certain areas, while other salmon species remain at a limit of five fish combined. There are no major local events today, but the fishing community is still celebrating the successful season and the protection of the Bristol Bay region from mining activities.
**Tips from Local Anglers:**
Local anglers recommend fishing during the early morning and late afternoon when the fish are most active. Be prepared for strong fights from the rainbow trout, which are in excellent condition due to their salmon-fueled diet. As one local guide advises, "When using an egg pattern, be patient and wait for the trout to intercept the egg before setting the hook."
**Best Times for Fishing:**
The best times to fish today are during the early morning from 6 AM to 9 AM and the late afternoon from 3 PM to 6 PM. These periods coincide with the peak feeding times of the fish, increasing your chances of a successful catch.
With the right gear, knowledge of the local conditions, and a bit of patience, you're set for a memorable day of fishing in the renowned waters of Bristol Bay. Enjoy your time on the water

**Weather Conditions:**
Today, you can expect partly cloudy skies with a high temperature of around 48°F (9°C) and a low of 38°F (3°C). The wind is moderate, blowing at about 10 mph from the northwest. There is a slight chance of light precipitation, so it's a good idea to pack your rain gear.
**Water Conditions:**
The water levels in the rivers are generally stable, with the Nushagak and Naknek rivers at their typical late-season levels. Water temperatures are cooling down, ranging from 45°F to 50°F (7°C to 10°C), which is ideal for many salmon species. The water clarity is good, making it easier to spot fish and present your lures effectively.
**Best Fishing Spots:**
For sockeye salmon, the Nushagak and Naknek rivers remain hot spots. The Wood River and Togiak River are also producing good catches of coho salmon. If you're targeting rainbow trout, the Alagnak and Naknek drainages are excellent choices.
**Bait and Tackle:**
For sockeye salmon, use small spinners, flies, or spoons. Flesh and egg patterns are particularly effective as the salmon are starting to spawn. For coho salmon, try using orange, pink, or silver spinners, as well as streamers and twitching jigs. When targeting rainbow trout, egg patterns and streamers work well.
**Fish Activity:**
Sockeye salmon are actively spawning, so they are more likely to be found in shallower waters, typically between 2 to 6 feet deep. Coho salmon are still migrating and can be found in slightly deeper waters, around 6 to 12 feet deep. Rainbow trout are active in the deeper pools and runs, especially where there is structure like rocks or weed beds.
**Local Events and Regulations:**
Be aware of the increased bag and possession limits for sockeye salmon in the Nushagak-Mulchatna and Wood River drainages, set at 10 fish per day, effective through December 31, 2024. Other salmon species have a combined bag limit of five fish. Make sure to check the latest emergency orders and advisory announcements before your trip.
**Tips from Local Anglers:**
Local anglers recommend fishing during the early morning and late evening when the fish are most active. For coho salmon, try presenting your lure with a bit of action to mimic injured baitfish. For rainbow trout, be patient and precise with your presentations, as they can be picky.
**Best Times for Fishing:**
The best times to fish today are during the early morning from 6:00 AM to 9:00 AM and the late evening from 4:00 PM to 7:00 PM. These periods coincide with the peak feeding times of the fish and offer the best chances of landing a catch.
