Alaska Trip Planning – When Is The Best Time To Visit Alaska

One of the most important considerations is, “When is the best time to visit Alaska?” Clearly, the summer months are the best. Anytime from the middle of May through October, there is always something to catch. Our salmon runs are absolutely legendary and many anglers would obviously like to target these species. With 2 summer King Salmon runs, 2 summer runs Sockeye Salmon runs, a fall Silver Salmon run, and Pink Salmon every even-numbered year there are plenty of options throughout the summer. Understanding the main goals and species you’d like to catch is the most important thing in planning your trip. Understanding the salmon run timing is critical.
