It won’t turn on until August, but when it does, the silver salmon fishing around Anchorage, Alaska provides great sport for fly fishers. “No fish challenges fly-fishers quite like fresh Susitna Valley silver salmon. Unlike red salmon, silvers consistently lunge out of their way to clobber streamers and, occasionally, even dry flies.” Ken Marsh writes about techniques for silvers in the Anchorage Daily News.
