Tips for Wading

While the Egegik River is wide, its banks are shallow and the coho salmon often travel surprisingly tight to shore. For this reason it’s wise not to wade into a hole without first casting and covering the water near shore. Often times schools of thousands of silver salmon gather near the shoreline, sometimes within two- to three-feet of the bank where they will hold and travel.

While you’ll want to bring waders to fish with us here at Becharof Lodge On The Egegik River, you’ll not want to wade too deep before making some casts to learn where the fish are.
