	Kvichak River - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Kvichak River is a river in southwestern Alaska, located at the conjunction of the Alaska Peninsula, to the Alaska Mainland at about 58°40′ N 157°34′ W. With headwaters in Iliamna Lake, it drains the lake into Kvichak Bay, an arm of Bristol Bay.
		Historically, the river was navigated and subsistence fished by local native Alaskans.
		The name of the river means from- or up to- great water, a reference to Lake Iliamna, Alaska's largest freshwater lake.

		Rivers that had escapements most consistently above the optimum ranges were those with the highest runs relative to past years (Egegik, Ugashik, and Igushik).
		The Nushagak River escapement of 458,000 sockeye salmon was 16.6% under its midrange objective of 550,000.
		The lower Yukon River summer season commercial salmon fishery begins in early June and targets chinook and summer chum salmon; the lower Yukon River fall commercial salmon season commences in mid July and targets fall chum salmon stocks with significant incidental harvest of coho salmon.

	Alagnak River Rainbow Trout Research: The seasonal distribution, migratory behavior, and habitat use by Alagnak River ...
		The Alagnak River is extensively braided downstream of the Nonvianuk River confluence and eventually becomes tidally influenced near its union with the Kvichak River.
		The desirable spawning habitat in the braided reaches of the main stem influenced the extensive downstream migrations made by lake-river fish during the spawning season, the spawning activity of salmon influenced movement during the postspawning season, and the distance fish moved to suitable winter habitat was influenced by the location of feeding habitats.
		The general pattern for river migratory fish was to migrate upstream to the braided reaches of the main stem during the spawning season, to make another upstream migration to the braided reaches during the postspawning season, and to move back downstream to overwinter in the lower and middle portions of the river.

	Kvichak River Rainbows, by Terry and Wendy Gunn
		Because of their massive size and strength, these fish are often mistaken for steelhead or anadromous trout (a trout born in fresh water that retreats to the sea for most of its adult life and returns to fresh water to spawn).
		The river is in turmoil and July and the first couple weeks of August are not considered prime trout fishing periods on the Kvichak.
		Some local Kvichak lodges concentrate on conventional fishing for rainbow trout and salmon, and may not be able to help you catch fish in the method that you prefer.

	Show Schedule, Alagnak Lodge, Alaska
		With the Kvichak River flowing out of Lake Illiamna, the largest freshwater lake in Alaska, and the numerous feeder streams that flow into the lake providing perfect spawning grounds, it is easy to see why the Kvichak can sustain such the largest run.
		Hence the Kvichak and Alagnak are considered to be the same drainage, and the sport fishing closure was announced for the Kvichak drainage, hence including the Alagnak River as well.
		Other rivers such as the Nushagak for example, have been closed to sport fishing for both kings and silvers in recent years, since the Fish and Game Dept. is a lot more cautious with salmon runs when there are commercial fishing interests involved.

	Kvichak: Chasing Rainbow Trout
		The Kvichak, world-renown for the size and numbers of wild rainbow trout it produces, flows from massive Lake Iliamna to Bristol Bay, providing a conduit for what is historically the world’s largest run of sockeye salmon.
		June 8th hails the opening of spring trout fishing in 2005 on the Kvichak, when the trout are long and lean and in search of a good meal, out-migrating sockeye smolt being the main course.
		During most years, spring trout fishing on the Kvichak is good until the end of June, when a lull ensues as the rainbows—ready to begin the egg feast—follow the sockeye to their spawning grounds.

		These hypotheses were tested by using scales from Kvichak River and Egegik River sockeye salmon, which averaged approximately 16 million fish per year or approximately 57% of the annual sockeye salmon run to Bristol Bay, 1955-2000.
		Kvichak and Egegik river sockeye salmon scale growth (distance between adjacent circuli) increased rapidly after the fish entered Bristol Bay during May and early June, reaching peak growth near the fifth circuli (Fig.
		In comparison, seasonal scale growth of Kvichak and Egegik sockeye salmon during the first and second years at sea tended to be high after the regime shift.

		The Kvichak River empties into the Bering Sea/Bristol Bay region and it is a mother nature made highway each year for the salmon.
		The best technique to fish this river is to use a drift boat, although we did see many fishermen being asked to be dropped off on an islet in the 'braids' to fish for an hour or two.
		The other choice is to fly in to this river from an off location lodge; but why bother when we only had a 3 minute boat ride to the best runs in the 'braids' and got the early morning bite.

		Still, 20 miles away from the Kvichak are similar lakes and rivers with record production.

		He was angry that the NPS had acquiesced to the FandWS along the Brooks River, and was angry at Kuehl who, by not protesting a year or two earlier, might have prevented the fish ladder from being constructed.
		What complicated the matter was that of Brooks River's two main species, one (rainbow trout) was a game fish and was sought by anglers, while the other (red salmon) was a commercial fish and was prized primarily by the Bristol Bay canneries (although it was a popular sports fish, too).
		By 1976, Brooks River's closure dates had changed; the new dates were from April 10 to June 7 instead of from May 20 to June 10.
