Fishing The Kobuk River, Alaska
The Kobuk River, Alaska, USA
Records have been set here for inconnu, but thats not all you'll find in this Alaskan river.
"The Kobuk River is a world renowned fishing destination due to it's large population of Sheefish. These fish, the largest member of the whitefish family, are often referred to as fresh water tarpon for their spectacular fighting skills and strength. Found in only 7 rivers in Alaska, the Kobuk has the strongest population of these fish and catching fish in the 30 inch range is not uncommon.
Perhaps the premier fishery in Northern Alaska, the Kobuk offers everything you'd expect from wild Alaska. Besides the thrill of Sheefish, there are salmon, northern pike and Char. With luck, you'll have the opportunity to see Arctic Grayling as they 'bump" Salmon to force eggs out, which they then greedily eat! These concentrations of Grayling can present the opportunity to catch and release literally dozens of these fine fish in a glorious fall day spent on some secluded slough.
