Fishing:
Jewels of the Water
Think king salmon. Picture enormous
halibut. Alaska Fishing is unlike anywhere
else-you'll throw back fish up here
that would be trophies elsewhere. It's
easy, affordable, and takes only a
few hours. With 34,000 miles of coastline
and countless pristine lakes and rivers,
Alaska fishing is something you can
fit in anywhere on your itinerary.
Are you someone who's never fished
before? A serious angler wanting a
week at an exclusive backcountry fishing
lodge? A casual caster after a day
of reeling on your own? No matter what
your interest, Halibut, Salmon, remote
Alaska fishing lodges for your dream
alaska vacation, we'll show you how
and where to do it. Let's go fishing.
You'll
likely be going after the Big Two:
salmon and halibut. The five species
of salmon range from pan-size to
nearly 100 pounds, while halibut
can weigh hundreds of pounds. Getting
your catch home may be easier than
reeling it in: most charters offer
filleting, freezing and shipping.
Those charters may be on the wide
open ocean (which can be a bumpy
ride) or a river. Either way you
won't need experience or equipment:
top-flight guides offer up all the
tackle and instruction you need.
Alaska
guides vastly simplify your logistics
and halve the time it takes to
catch a fish. But they're not required.
If you have initiative and good
timing, you can rent a rod and reel
and find great fishing as close as
downtown Anchorage! Urban fishing
usually means bumping elbows with
other anglers, though. If it's your
dream to fish in the middle of nowhere,
consider a fly-in trip, which gets
you beyond the reach of roads and
most other anglers. You may even
share a wilderness stream with bears
and eagles.
Our complete guide will help you
make all these choices, then
help you find the perfect trip to
make your Alaskan fishing dream a
reality.
