First king of 2018 from Ship Creek
Fishing May 18, 2018 Lee Leschper
The Anchorage fishing season officially started Thursday night with the first king salmon caught from Ship Creek downtown.
Dilly Vue caught the 19-pound hen Thursday night on a #6 blue Vibrax spinner.
It will still be 10 days or two weeks before the main push of kings arrives in the creek but it’s an encouraging start to the 2018 season.
