About Chilkoot Lake
Tucked into Alaska, United States, Chilkoot Lake is a lake that fishes differently season to season. Spring brings fish into the shallows to spawn or feed on early baitfish; midsummer pushes them to cooler, deeper water; autumn turns them aggressive again as they pack on weight before winter. Anglers planning a trip to Chilkoot Lake should check water temperature and recent weather — a sudden cold front can shut a lake like this down for a day.

Fishing Techniques
- For Sockeye salmon
Sockeye tend to run in deep, fast currents, so use enough weight to get your offering down to where the fish are, near the bottom.
- For Pink salmon
Pink salmon often school tightly; if you catch one, keep fishing the same area as more are likely present. Use a twitching retrieve with spoons or spinners.
- For Coho salmon
When fishing for Coho in rivers, focus on areas with current breaks, such as behind rocks or logs, as they often hold in these spots. Vary your retrieve speed to find what the fish are responding to.
