Alaska Fall Fishing Trip!

Fall in Alaska for Big Bows, Steelhead, Pinks and Coho
More on our great trip, top areas, awesome pictures and plenty More!

Looks like a few of us got the right idea and made it out to Alaska recently for some outstanding fishing. I'll give you a short recap since the link below is from my buddy in Anchorage who posted alot of our trip on an Alaskan Fly fishing forum. We fished the Kenai Peninsula all the way down to Homer. Bodies of water included the Russian, Kenai, Anchor, Ninilchik and Deep Creek. Fish targeted, or unfortunately caught ie: "Reds" included Coho, Rainbows, Dolly's, Pinks, & Steelhead.

While we used Egg patterns most of the time I used my Swinging addiction -sorry fellas not that kinda swingin but with Egg sucking Leeches kind to rip a bunch of Silvers, Steelheads and everything else man what a feeling to have them grab this and run!

I started out with a guided day trip on the Kenai and had a blast catching close to 50 fish that day....okay we parted the Red sea but many non-sockeye fish saw the bottom of my net.

Big Brown Trout Fishing Fall New York


Fall Brown Trout Fishing in the Northeast!

Trout Species of The Week


Guide Of The Week


Location of The Week



The brown trout is not a native species to NY waters. The brown trout were introduced to NY waters from Europe. The brown trout is able to survive and flourish in warmer waters that other trout species will not tolerate. This is one reason for its growing popularity among the anglers of NY.
The brown trout can thrive in streams or lakes. They can with stand heavy fishing pressure better than the native trout species. The main reason for this is that brown trout are more active at night and can be hard to catch in the daytime. The biggest brown trout are caught after dark, or early in the morning especially during the summer months.
The brown trout will feed on a variety of items. In streams they will feed on snails, crayfish and other small fish species. They will feed on a variety of insects including mayflies, caddisflies, and stoneflies when they are available. In the larger lakes they feed mostly on smelt and alewives. This is why they grow to such large sizes in the lakes.
The brown trout in the Finger Lakes and Lake Ontario experience a phenomenal growth rate. They are able to utilize the colder water and venture in to warmer water that rainbow and lake trout do not feed in. The New York State record brown trout weighed 33 lb. 2oz. It was caught by Tony Brown on a Smithwick Rogue from Lake Ontario on June 10, 1997 aboard Dixie Dandy with Captain Gerry Bresadola.
Spawning for the brown trout takes place in the fall. Each year in October and November the tributaries of the Lake Ontario and the Finger Lakes receive a large run of these spawning fish. Unlike salmon Brown Trout will hit a fly or lure when presented properly. Eighteen Mile Creek, Oak Orchard Creek, Salmon River, Oswego River, Niagara River, Black River, Genesee River, and Maxwell Creek are some of the fall hot spots for fall brown trout fishing.
