Fresh Willow Fishing Reports

Bring a camera, take lots of pictures and enjoy the Alaskan wilderness. And take the longest trip possible. A single day just leaves you wanting more.

Caught several rainbow over 20 inches and were hooking fish all day, but also accidentally hooked a king salmon. The guide quickly unhooked him and had him released gently in under a minute. I was really impressed with the respect and conservation mindset he showed. We saw 3 more Kings jumping out of the water and we left the area.

Fishing in May is hit and miss. Catch and release fishing and it’s still early for salmon. However, the weather was comfortable and the waters were very navigable.

Make sure to bring rain gear. It wasn’t heavy rain but it was a steady drizzle.
