RECORDED: 
16 °
FISHING: Excellent
Well the 2007 season is fastly approaching us and the Alaska Department of Fish and Game has released its Nushagak King Forcast.
Before I let you know what it is going to look like you might want to pick up your phone and book your trip now.
The 2007 King season on the Nushagak River is going to see 217,000 Kings for the 2007 season. This is one of the better forcasts that we have seen in the last couple of years.
With this many Kings and then your normal 400,000+ Chums and 800,000 Sockeyes the 2007 season looks like it is going to be a banner one. See you on the Nushagak this Summer where you to can say Fish On and On and On and On!!!!!!!!!!

FISHING: Excellent
The Nushagak King Salmon season has come to an end with a bang. The Nushagak ended with 124,683 Kings, 661,000 Chums and 548,469 Sockeyes and when the counters stopped counting on July 19th there where still lots of fish still pouring into the system. Needless to say that the Nushagak once again had an epic year with lots of fish to catch and lots of happy faces to go home with. Alaska Kingfishers had a great season with an average of 53 kings caught per day per boat, a nice 47 Pounder caught by Tooke and a awesome chum salmon season with rods bent all the time.
Alaska Kingfishers would like to thank all those who fished with us this season. We had some great fish catching and some great laughs and thats what it is all about. Have a great rest of your summer and we will see you next year.

| Agulowak River - August 1st, 2006 |
RECORDED:
44 °
FISHING: Excellent
As we come to the end of the 2006 season the Agulowak river was still pumping out Sockeyes, Rainbow Trout, Arctic Grayling and Arctic Char. The Agulowak had the largest Sockeye run in history of record keeping at a amazing 4,024,000 Sockeyes in one monthes time. With numbers like this you can only imagine what the fishing was like. The Sockeyes were so numerous that it was like fishing in a Hatchery. Clients averaged an easy 60 fish a morning before we went trout fishing.
The Trout fishing was fantastic with lots of rainbows in the 20" range falling to Leeches, Drys and Nymphs. Along with the trout where lots of hungery Arctic Grayling to the 18" range.
The Arctic Char fishing this season was awesome with a big out pouring of Sockeye smolts. The fishing with Flies or Jigs was unsurpassed with a fish on every cast and fish to 10 pounds you just cant beat that kind of fishing.
Alaska Kigfishers would like to thank all of you who fished with us this season. Thank you for the great time and we look forward to seeing you all next year.

| Agulowak River - July 12th, 2006 |
RECORDED:
55 °
FISHING: Excellent
The Agulowak has had the most amazing run of Sockeyes in history of record keeping for the Alaska Department of fish and game. With 3,599,022 sockeyes you can say with out question that fishing has nothing short of spectacular.
When fishing for sockeyes clients have not had to fish more then about fifteen minutes to catch there limit. After there limit has been caught they have continued to educate sockeyes to what catch and release is all about with each angler hooking up to 60 fish a piece a morning.
The river has dropped quite a bit giving us accsess to large abundance of fiesty Rainbows. Swinging leeches has been awesome with trout smashing flies on almost every cast. For the angler looking to tie into nice big trout on dry flies then the afternoons have given them great oppertunity to do so with good hatches of mayflys coming out to warm themselves in the sun.
The Artic Char fishing at the mouth has continued to be great with smolt still making there annual migration to the sea. Char have been attacking flies and jigs at great speeds. Fish to 8 pounds have come to the net lately.
Teh fishing on the Agulowak should continue to get better for Trout and Char but will start slowing down for sockeyes as the run comes to and end.

FISHING: Excellent
The Agulowak started out the season with High water but it has dropped into great shape. The sockeye run has been outstanding with 2,010,913 fish up river as of today. Anglers have been catching an average of 40 fish a day per angler up to 9 pounds.
The Rainbows have been moving into the system from there spawning grounds more and more each day. Swinging leeches has has produce some great catches up to 23 inches. Dry fly and nymph fishing has been getting better each day. Artic Grayling fishing has been execellent on small dry flies.
The smolt migration is in full swing and the results are lots of hungry and aggresive Artic Char. The char are smashing flies with wreckless abanden, producing great catches with fish into the 10 pound range.
As the water continues to drop the fishing for Rainbows, Grayling and char will continue to get better. The Sockeye run should goood and strong for the next couple of weeks.
