I want to take my grandson down to Hope to teach him how to fish. When do the pinks show up in good numbers? Anybody been down there yet this year?

Even year so it could be later towards the end of July for the first serious numbers to hit. I seldom go there before mid July. I try to skip the third weekend due to the wagon wheel run and little parking around town that saturday.
These threads will help sort out the history and timing.

Pinks are being caught from both sides in Valdez, got a first hand report from this last weekend posted on FB Page on 5 July:
Today in Valdez: Leland Robertson found some shoreline success with a few pink salmon in Valdez, this one from the city dock fishing pier. Thanks for the report Leland!
He said he caught some near Allison Point also, was using Kodiak Custom Fish Tackle GI skirted spinners.

Looking forward to putting a fly rod in my grandson's hands and letting him learn how to drift a fly....
Thanks for all the info to all of you. Love this board...

Don’t want to hijack the thread, but I too would like to take my boys down and am wondering what you guys recommend for lures?“You’ve gotten soft. You’re like one of those police dogs who’s released in to the wild and gets eaten by a deer or something.” Bill McNeal of News Radio

I like to use pink or chartreuse or any combination of the two, I use coho flies meant for red fishing and drift them sort of like flipping for reds. As the previous poster mentioned you can watch them actually hit them. Cut them down so they are only about an inch long. The hope pinks are small and bigger lures tend to spook them in the clear water.
