Fish Counts
Alaska fish counts provided by the ADF&G (Alaska Department of Fish and Game) is a tremendous resource; kudos to ADF&G for making this data available to the public.
Keep in mind we do a lot of fishing below and upstream of the weirs and low fish counts frequently do not indicate poor fishing. Salmon are a migratory species and will stage in certain areas depending on conditions, often in the fishery below the weirs. We are in tune with the habits and behaviors of these salmon and know all the places they will be, given the conditions. Generally low water is associated with reduced salmon migration and high water with intense salmon migration.
**Please note weirs are expensive to operate and are not operated in all the waters we guide on in the Matsu Valley.

Additionally mid May, we are planning on getting our boats on the Susitna River and getting our customers into some phenomenal Hooligan fishing.
We will update this page as conditions change. 2023 is going to be full of great fishing opportunities.
