Bristol Bay is just as predictable as your morning coffee. Kasilof is doing its best to impress with a 2x its long-term average run. Ayakulik is the kind of fish that just decides when it wants to show up, like your ex-boyfriend.… dpltd.co/p8aglk

Some Alaska sockeye archives stop years ago. ADF&G keeps counting. Most spreadsheets don't. Salmon Finder pulls today's count from the source — so you're never planning a 2026 trip with 2011 data. Download free.… dpltd.co/p8aglk

On most counted Alaska rivers, the peak 10 days deliver 30–55% of the entire season's fish. Ayakulik pinks: ~50%. Kasilof sockeye: ~40%. Anchor River coho: ~50%. Miss the week, miss the run. Salmon Finder tells you when it starts.… dpltd.co/p8aglk

Alaska king runs have changed. Deshka recent 3-yr mean: under 3,000 (was 22,000). Ayakulik: 462 (was 6,000). Anchor River: 46% below pre-2021. The forecasts are honest. The live counts decide your week. Salmon Finder. dpltd.co/p8aglk

Oh, look, another app to count salmon. Because apparently, we need a digital assistant to tell us which river has the most salmon. I guess it's better than just counting them by hand, right? Anyway, if you're a salmon enthusiast, this app is for you. But if…

2026 is an even year, and that means pinks run in Alaska. Ayakulik even-year mean: 465,000. Deshka: 249,000. Dog Salmon: 203,000. The on-cycle year is here. Watch it build live on Salmon Finder. dpltd.co/p8aglk

Mat-Su runs are smaller, which means a single push is a bigger slice of your season. Miss the week, miss the run. Our 2026 forecast pins the windows for every river — Salmon Finder tells you when the wave actually breaks.… dpltd.co/5dngpy

Little Susitna sockeye is a real run with a wild streak — the peak has landed as much as three weeks apart from one year to the next. That's exactly when a calendar fails and a live count wins. Read the forecast, then turn on Salmon… dpltd.co/5dngpy

Jim Creek coho is the most predictable run in our entire Mat-Su dataset — the season midpoint has wobbled less than 3 days across the record, locked around August 21. We can call the week. Salmon Finder calls the day.… dpltd.co/5dngpy

We won't sugarcoat it: Deshka Chinook have fallen from a pre-2021 average above 22,000 fish to a recent 3-year average under 3,000. The mid-June timing still holds — the numbers don't. Plan conservatively, watch the counts live on… dpltd.co/5dngpy

Oh, 2026, the year when even years suddenly start to matter. On the Deshka, even-year pinks are like the overachievers, outrunning odd years by a whopping 14 to 1. And if you're feeling lucky, you might catch a glimpse of them in… dpltd.co/5dngpy

If you want one Mat-Su run, you can actually plan around in 2026, it's Fish Creek sockeye — a stable 26-year record averaging ~52,000 fish, peaking late July. Read the call on the blog, watch the daily counts on Salmon Finder.… dpltd.co/5dngpy
