On The Fly Outfitters offers both full and half day guided fishing charters on the Talkeetna and Susitna river systems for all 5 species of Pacific Salmon and Trout.

By far the largest fish in the water is the King (Chinook) Salmon.  Kings arrive in the Talkeetna area in June and can be caught until mid July.  King Salmon average 20-25lbs, however it is not uncommon to catch  larger fish in the 50-60lb class!  Kings will often run hundreds of yards during the course of a fight, so heavy tackle is the key to landing them.  Kings are best fished with spinning or casting tackle, although opportunities to take these monsters on a fly are available during certain times of the season.

What the smaller salmon lack in size they make up for in shear numbers.  Thousands of Silver (Coho), Red (Sockeye), Chum (Dog) and Pink (Humpy) Salmon can be found in the rivers from mid July until the end of August.  These fish average 8-9lbs and can be caught up to 15lbs.  These salmon are hard and aggressive fighters willing to bite!  Both spinning and fly tackle can take these beauties at any time.
