16 NOV. 2024 · As of November 16, 2024, the fishing season in Bristol Bay, Alaska, has come to a close, but here’s a wrap-up of the recent activity and some insights for future reference.
### Weather and Tides
The weather in Bristol Bay this time of year is typically cold and icy, with winter setting in. For those planning ahead, during the peak fishing season, expect variable weather conditions, often with cool temperatures and occasional rain. Tides play a crucial role in fishing here; however, since the season is over, tidal reports are less relevant now.
### Sunrise and Sunset
In mid-November, the sunrise in Bristol Bay is around 9:30 AM, and the sunset is about 4:00 PM. During the peak summer months, the days are much longer, which is ideal for fishing.
### Fish Activity
The 2024 sockeye salmon run in Bristol Bay was significant, with over 51.6 million fish, marking the 10th largest inshore run since 2004[3][4].
- **Sockeye Salmon:** The run was strong, especially in the Naknek/Kvichak and Nushagak districts. Fishermen reported high catches, with some days seeing over a million fish caught baywide[4][5].
- **Coho Salmon:** Fishing for coho salmon on the Togiak and Wood Rivers was good to excellent, with anglers using spinners, spoons, and fly streamers to catch these fish[2].
### Best Lures and Bait
For sockeye and coho salmon:
- **Spinners and Spoons:** Orange, pink, or silver spinners were highly effective.
- **Fly Streamers:** Streamers and egg patterns worked well, especially as salmon spawning progressed[2].
- **Flesh and Egg Patterns:** These were extremely effective as salmon began to deteriorate[2].
### Hot Spots
- **Naknek/Kvichak Districts:** Known for high cumulative escapements and significant daily catches.
- **Wood River:** Excellent for coho salmon fishing, with good results from using hardware and fly streamers[2][4].
While the current season has ended, these insights will be valuable for planning your next fishing trip to Bristol Bay in the upcoming season. Always check the latest fishing reports and regulations before heading out.

15 NOV. 2024 · As of November 15, the Bristol Bay fishing season has already concluded, but here’s a retrospective look at how the season wrapped up, along with some general insights for future reference.
### Weather and Tides
During the peak fishing season in July, the weather in Bristol Bay was quite variable. There were periods of high heat and then cooler days. For example, around mid-July, the area experienced a significant drop in catch numbers, indicating the tail end of the season, with temperatures fluctuating[2][3].
### Sunrise and Sunset
In mid-July, sunrise was around 5:30 AM, and sunset was around 10:30 PM. These long days are typical for the Alaskan summer.
### Fish Activity
The 2024 Bristol Bay sockeye salmon run was exceptionally strong, with a total inshore run of 51.6 million fish, 36% above the preseason forecast. The commercial harvest was 31.6 million sockeye salmon, and all escapement goals were met or exceeded[5].
### Catch and Types of Fish
By mid-July, the baywide catch had started to decline, signaling the end of the season. On one of the last busy days, the baywide catch was over 1 million fish, with the Naknek-Kvichak district bringing in the majority. The Nushagak district also had a significant catch, with set netters and drift boats contributing to the totals. Other species caught included Chinook, chum, coho, and pink salmon, although in much smaller numbers compared to sockeye[2][3].
### Best Lures and Bait
For sockeye salmon, which dominated the catch, the best lures often include small, brightly colored flies or spinners. In the Port Moller Test Fishery, small mesh nets caught a significant portion of the fish, indicating that smaller presentations can be effective. For other species like coho and chum, lures such as Clouser Minnows, Starlite Leeches, and Wild Things can be productive[2][4].
### Hot Spots
The Naknek-Kvichak district was one of the hottest spots, consistently producing high catch numbers throughout the season. The Nushagak district, particularly around the Nushagak River, was another area where fishermen had significant success. The Ugashik and Egegik districts also saw substantial catches, especially during the peak periods[2][3].
In summary, Bristol Bay's 2024 fishing season was marked by an abundant sockeye run, with the Naknek-Kvichak and Nushagak districts being key areas for fishermen. While the season has ended, these insights will be valuable for planning future fishing trips to this prolific fishery.

10 NOV. 2024 · As of November 10, 2024, the fishing season in Bristol Bay, Alaska, has wrapped up for the year, but here’s a summary of the recent activity and some insights for future reference.
### Weather and Tidal Conditions
Given the time of year, the weather in Bristol Bay is typically cold, with temperatures ranging from the mid-teens to mid-twenties Fahrenheit. For today, expect overcast skies with a chance of light snow. Tides are not as critical now since the salmon runs have concluded, but for general information, the tides in Bristol Bay follow a mixed semidiurnal pattern.
### Sunrise and Sunset
Sunrise is around 9:30 AM, and sunset is approximately 4:30 PM, reflecting the shorter days of late fall.
### Fish Activity
The primary salmon runs, including sockeye, coho, and pink salmon, have ended for the season. However, for those interested in freshwater fishing, resident species such as rainbow trout, Arctic char, Arctic grayling, and northern pike are still active.
### Recent Catches
In the final weeks of the season, coho salmon fishing on the Togiak River and Wood River was reported to be good to excellent. The sockeye salmon run was exceptionally strong this year, with the total season catch exceeding preseason predictions, reaching over 28 million fish baywide[2][3].
### Best Lures and Bait
For resident species, spinners, spoons, and flies are highly effective. Since salmon spawning has concluded, flesh and egg patterns are particularly successful for rainbow trout. Orange, pink, or silver spinners work well for coho salmon. For rainbow trout, using an egg pattern that mimics the species and egg stage is advisable[1][4].
### Hot Spots
The Naknek River is renowned for its trophy rainbow trout fishing and is a top recommendation. The Alagnak River and its tributaries also offer excellent fishing for rainbow trout, Arctic char, and dolly varden. For those looking to explore more remote areas, fly-out trips to streams within the Katmai and Becharof wilderness can yield high numbers of dolly varden, rainbow trout, and grayling[1][4].
While the salmon season has ended, Bristol Bay remains a fantastic destination for freshwater fishing, with its rich biodiversity and pristine waters.

3 NOV. 2024 · As of November 3, 2024, the fishing season in Bristol Bay, Alaska, has largely wrapped up, but here’s a summary of the recent activity and some general insights for those planning future trips.

For today, expect temperatures to be around the mid-20s to low 30s Fahrenheit (-4 to 0 degrees Celsius), with possible light snow or frost. Tides are not as critical for freshwater fishing, but for any saltwater ventures, the tides would be moderate, with high tide around mid-morning and low tide in the late afternoon.
### Sunrise and Sunset
Sunrise is around 9:30 AM, and sunset is approximately 4:30 PM, providing a short window for daylight fishing.
### Fish Activity
The peak fishing season for sockeye salmon in Bristol Bay occurred in July. As of the last reports in July, the total run was estimated at around 8.5 million sockeye salmon, with significant catches in the Nushagak, Naknek-Kvichak, and Egegik districts.

**Fish Activity:**
Fishing for resident species such as rainbow trout, Arctic char, Arctic grayling, and northern pike is reported as great to excellent. These fish are active in the freshwater systems, particularly in the Naknek, Alagnak, and Wood River drainages.
**Fish Caught:**
While the salmon runs have concluded for the season, the last reports indicated strong catches of coho salmon in the Togiak and Wood Rivers until mid-September. Now, the focus is on the resident species. Rainbow trout, Arctic char, and Arctic grayling are abundant and responsive to various lures.
**Best Lures and Bait:**

**Hot Spots:**
- The Togiak River remains a hot spot for coho salmon, although the season has ended, it's a great place to target resident species now.
- The Naknek and Alagnak rivers and their drainages are excellent for rainbow trout, Arctic char, and Arctic grayling.
- The Wood River Lake System is good for northern pike, especially along lake and slough shores and in shallow weedy bays.
**Regulations:**
