About Nome River
Nome River cuts through Alaska, United States and offers classic river fishing. The local patterns are the universal river patterns: fish the heads of pools at first light, the deep slow water in the middle of the day, and the tail-outs as light fades. Light tackle and a careful drift go a long way at Nome River — heavy splashes spook a whole pool.

Fishing Techniques
- 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.
- For Dolly varden
Dolly Varden often hold near structure like fallen logs or undercut banks, so target these areas; vary your retrieve speed until you find what they are hitting.
