Fun times on the creek! I honestly enjoy helping and watching other catch fish on the creek. That’s what it’s really about.

Paul went 1 for 2 on the morning tide. Bobber was down a s he set the hook!! The one he lost at the bank, well we will say it was a dandy! A little bit of Creek Candy under a float is all it took. Bobber Down!
Evening tides have been a little tricky. Well kind of expected when the sun is right above the creek and the temps are a little warm. We have been watching the spinner bite turn on during the incoming tide. It’s been pretty decent down on the lower portion of the creek. Bait bite hasn’t been the best on the incoming. But once the sun starts to set a little, the temps cool off and water start to drop its Bobber Down! Christian managed to hook up a couple times on the outgoing. The fish kept spitting the hooks at the bank. This Coho made it all the way to the stringer. Caught on the evening tide with a little #creekcandy under a float. Way to get it done Christian!

Salmon Heads,
A new day and a new season!! We hope everyone had a wonderful and fun 2020 King Salmon Season. We saw plenty of bent rods and fresh chrome on the table.
As of 11pm on the 13th of July King season came to a close. You can no longer retain a King Salmon out of Ship Creek. You actually can not even take them out of the water. This goes for all Kings, big and smalls. Kings are CLOSED!!!
Time to get excited….Silvers are showing up in the system. Let’s hope we have a Creek packed full of Coho this season. Ship Creek is now open to 24 hours fishing as well as Bird Creek just south of Anchorage. Congratulations once again to all the successful King anglers! Let’s get ready to drop the hammer on some Chrome Coho!! Bobber Down——Fish On!

Little Susitna River Reopens to Limited King Salmon Harvest
(Palmer) – The Alaska Department of Fish and Game (ADF&G) is reopening the Little Susitna River to a limited harvest opportunity for the remainder of the king salmon season. Effective 6:00 a.m. Saturday, July 11 through 11:00 p.m. Monday, July 13, 2020, anglers may keep one king salmon per day, 20 inches or greater in length, in the Little Susitna River. The annual limit is restricted to two king salmon, 20 inches or greater in length, and the area open to king salmon harvest is limited to downstream of the weir only. Artificial lures with multiple hooks may be used downstream of the weir per regulation. Waters upstream of the weir to the Parks Highway, remain catch-and-release only for king salmon with only one unbaited, single hook, artificial lure allowed.
The sustainable escapement goal for king salmon on the Little Susitna River is 2,100 – 4,300 fish. As of July 10, 2020, 2,154 king salmon have been counted at the Little Susitna weir. The weir count is considered a minimum count because it is likely additional fish passed the weir undetected from approximately June 13 – June 18 when the weir was flooded. Based on the weir count and a projected escapement of about 2,300 fish it is warranted to allow the sport fishery to proceed by regulation downstream of the weir and for the fishery upstream of the weir to remain catch-and-release only. The estimated harvest of less than 75 fish due to this action will not lower the final escapement below the lower end of the escapement goal if harvest is only allowed downstream of the weir.
“The catch-and-release strategy used from the outset of the season worked well toward meeting our escapement objectives and now it appears there can be some late season opportunity for anglers to harvest a king salmon,” stated Area Management Biologist Sam Ivey. “Even though this is a small opportunity, it is worth it during these unprecedented times, to have the chance to put even just one king salmon in the freezer”.
For additional information, please contact Area Management Biologist Sam Ivey at (907) 746-6300 or Cook Inlet Management Coordinator Matt Miller at (907) 267-241

Deshka River Open to Limited King Salmon Harvest
(Palmer) – The Deshka River king salmon escapement goal has been achieved for the 2020 fishing season and the Alaska Department of Fish and Game (ADF&G) is reopening the Deshka River to a limited harvest opportunity for the remainder of the king salmon season. Effective 6:00 a.m. Wednesday, July 8 through 11:00 p.m. Monday, July 13, 2020, the methods and means has been restored and anglers may keep one king salmon, 20 inches or greater in length, in the Deshka River. The annual limit is restricted to two king salmon, 20 inches or greater in length, and the area open to king salmon harvest is limited to downstream of the weir only and within a half-mile radius of the mouth. Bait and multiple hooks may be used downstream of the weir per regulation. Waters upstream of the weir to regulatory markers located near Chijuk Creek (river mile 17), remain catch-and-release only for king salmon with only one unbaited, single hook, artificial lure allowed.
Anglers are reminded that all other restrictions and closures taken in Emergency Order 2-KS-2-8-20 remain in effect, except for the Deshka River. Unit 2 of the Susitna River is closed to fishing for king salmon and fishing for king salmon in Units 1, 3, 4, 5, and 6 of the Susitna River drainages are restricted to catch-and-release (except for the Deshka River). Sport fishing gear is restricted to one unbaited, single-hook, artificial lure in all waters of the Susitna River drainage. Please review the Emergency Order in its entirety.
The biological escapement goal (BEG) for king salmon in the Deshka River is 9,000 to 18,000 fish, as measured at the weir located at river mile 7. The escapement goal has been achieved with approximately 10,200 fish passed the weir to date and a projection of 11,200. Therefore, it is warranted to open the Deshka River king salmon fishery to harvest. The estimated harvest of less than 300 fish due to this action will not lower the final escapement below the lower end of the escapement goal.
“The 2020 run appears to be performing better than runs experienced in 2017 through 2019,” stated Area Management Biologist Sam Ivey. “With the escapement goal now achieved and continued favorable counts in recent days, there is an opportunity for some late season harvest.”
For additional information, please contact Area Management Biologist Sam Ivey at (907) 746-6300 or Cook Inlet Management Coordinator Matt Miller at (907) 267-2415.

What a week on the creek. We are starting to see the chrome roll in.
This past weeks Fish of the Week was a mystery weight fish. The winner is decided by who weighs a fish that is closest to the mystery weight without going over the mystery weight.

Very fun day fishing with Eric yesterday. We finally figured out how to get the fish to bite when they have others things on their mind. We even had a giant laker come in and open his mouth with gills flared out and smoke our lure. At 10 feet away from the boat. Unfortunately the lure wasn’t set good and popped out. Trophy size in the 36-40” range. Next time big guy! Book a trip and experience how addicting laker fishing can be! 503-706-8205.

Fun afternoon trip! We only landed 2 fish but the big one was 35 3/4” long. 1/4” shy of trophy status.

Who needs to fish anywhere else?! What a beauty this fish was. I was reeling up to go in when it hit. Nice net job Kendra Christine Waldenberg!
