Sockeyes are known for their blue-silver color while they live in the ocean. Yet once they return to their spawning grounds, a remarkable transformation occurs. The bluish, silvery coloration of the sockeye gives way to brilliant red, with the heads turning bright green. The sight of millions of sockeyes returning to their spawning grounds is one you’re not likely to forget. When you choose to stay at Rainbow King Lodge, you’ll have a front-row seat for the majesty.
Sockeye salmon enter the Iliamna Lake drainage by the millions in late June and early July. For the first few weeks that they are in freshwater, they are considered to be the hardest fighting salmon pound for pound. Alaska red salmon average 6 to 10 pounds and can weigh up to 15 pounds. Catching these on a fly rod starts the fight of a lifetime, and our private access to the Newhalen River Gorge will put you waist-deep in sockeye. Sockeye salmon fishing in Alaska could be one of the biggest challenges you can experience — and one of the most fun.
