Fishing on Honolulu Creek 2004

Honolulu Creek is a small tributary of the Chulitna River system along the Parks Highway.  Honolulu Creek has runs of King, Silver and a few Pink Salmon. This was Kevin's first King Salmon on a Fly Rod.

These Salmon have come quite a distance up the Susitna, then Chulitna River to Honolulu Creek. This spawned out King Salmon was pretty ugly, but it was Woody's first and he caught it on a Fly Rod.  We were both proud of the fish.

Behind these spawning Salmon come hungry Rainbow Trout scavenging for the stray eggs. Kevin holds a 13 inch Rainbow that he caught with an Egg Pattern.

Honolulu Creek is the closest stream along the Parks that hosts wild Rainbow Trout to Fairbanks.  I try to visit a couple of times a year. This is a fat 19 inch Rainbow that I hooked behind a pair of spawning King Salmon with an Egg Pattern.
