The Alagnak River, also known as the Branch River, offers you an exceptional fishing experience. Here, you'll find significant salmon runs and abundant populations of Rainbow Trout, Arctic Char, Dolly Varden, and Arctic Grayling. You'll witness all five species of Pacific Salmon migrating through during their spawning seasons. Imagine seeing the Sockeye Salmon run, often numbering between 1 to 2 million fish, followed by King Salmon runs ranging from 25,000 to 40,000 fish. While most Kings you encounter will weigh 20-40 pounds, you'll even have opportunities to target 60+ pound fish.

While some anglers might overlook them due to their culinary qualities, you'll discover that Chum Salmon are a formidable sport fish. As the second-largest Pacific salmon species, their tenacious fighting style is comparable to Silver Salmon, combined with the robust build of Kings. In even-numbered years, Pink Salmon also arrive, providing you with a substantial and highly engaging angling challenge.

The Silver Salmon, highly prized on the Alagnak River, are the final species to enter the system. When you hook one, they strike forcefully and exhibit unparalleled acrobatic displays and powerful dives, creating an intense angling encounter. Their remarkable fight is a primary reason you'll find the river so captivating.

Beyond salmon, the Alagnak River sustains highly sought-after species such as wild, trophy-sized Rainbow Trout. These fish thrive on the abundant salmon life cycle, reaching impressive sizes and offering you exhilarating catches. Arctic Char are equally impressive, and you'll find Arctic Grayling in considerable numbers, allowing for extended angling in the scenic tributary mouths.
