Have you ever seen the salmon of NYS?
I can't imagine they migrate through the St Lawrence to the Atlantic

Where are you going to be in Alaska, Dan? I had to work there for three weeks in December, 1994. I swear December is the best time to visit Alaska, but I've also had fun in May and August.
Have a good time.

Our driest, brightest weather in southeast Alaska, Joe O, is typically from mid-April to the end of June- that is where we are now and we've had marvelous weather.
Dan,Olddude,we're 600 miles from Anchorage by air- two days by car, so unless you come to Juneau we probably won't get to meet you. Do say you'll come here! In any case, have a wonderful time.

Don, kings in nys are stocked in the great Lakes from fingerings from the state of Washington. They don't care if it is not the ocean. They act the same way and head to creeks to spawn

They feed on nothing much -- they're going upstream to spawn. Not even food gets in the way of spawning (ask any teenage boy!), and then they die.

What kind of tackle are you using on these guys, Dan? MANY Years ago I caught a few on a 6 wt fly rod- what a kick!!

A 6 wt? Wow! Kick indeed! Fly, baby, fly! Never fish bait or lure again for fresh water fish (and some salt water fish), me.

40 lbs test, they are just coming in and will feed on salmon eggs. The current is strong and you need four ounce lead. Big hooks and very strong gear. I got a hold of one over fifty pounds and shook the hook. Maybe today I will nail one. Later runs they don't feed.

Ship's Creek just downtown anchorage, you are allowed only one king per day and you need a king tag. The early run has the biggest ones. Egg roe, herring combo for bait. Big tough gear.
