Alaska offers some of the most spectacular fly-fishing, saltwater fishing, freshwater fishing and even ice fishing in the world - incredible fishing. It can be as easy as pulling off the side of the road and casting a line. Or you can charter a boat or float plane to whisk you off to a secluded fishing hole where you can reel in one of the more than 627 species that inhabit the Alaskan waters.

Alaska's oceans, rivers, and lakes are teeming with huge runs of record breaking Salmon, Rainbow Trout, beautiful Arctic Char, barn door Halibut and many other challenging sport fish. Alaska, home to five species of Pacific Salmon, holds the world record for the much sought after King Salmon. All of this awaits you in the most spectacular setting on earth. With over 3 million lakes, 3,000 rivers and countless fish-filled streams, you can see the challenge isn't catching fish, but deciding what kind to catch and where!

Every region of the state offers accommodations that cater to the needs of the angler - ranging from luxurious to rustic. Alaska offers the angling experience of a lifetime!
