Fishing and Hunting in Alaska
Hunting and fishing are popular in
Alaska. A greater percentage of Alaskans fish than
residents of any other state. Hiking, camping, and
cross-country skiing are all very popular in Alaska.
Fishing in Alaska differs from fishing anywhere else
in the world. Many of the small coastal communities on
the Alaska Marine Highway System route make much of
their living from the sea, so fishing is more than sport
it’s a way of life.
Alaska's summer waters teem with five kinds of wild
Pacific salmon, plus halibut, hefty rainbow trout and
delicate arctic grayling that slash at flies. Alaska
offers some of the most spectacular fly-fishing,
saltwater fishing, freshwater fishing and even ice
fishing in the world. It can be as easy as spending a
few hours at a roadside stream or planning a multi-day
fly-in to a secluded lake.
Every region of the state offers accommodations that
cater to the needs of the angler - ranging from
luxurious to rustic. And with over 3 million lakes,
3,000 rivers and countless fish-filled streams in Alaska
the challenge isn't catching fish, but making a choice
about what kind and where.
