Great Alaska Fishing |
 |
Angling in Alaska can be incredible. Salmon runs are strong along our coasts, and there really are some giant halibut in Alaska waters. King salmon over 50 pounds are not at all uncommon. Grayling, rainbow trout and northern pike are easy to catch in many inland streams. And you can fish amid some of the most incredible scenery on the continent. Salmon Fishing in Alaska is done in both freshwater and saltwater. When Alaska Salmon Fishing, you could use everything from cut herring for salmon bait, to lures, spoons, spinners, and flies to catch a giant Wild Alaskan King Salmon. |

Salmon Fishing in Alaska is best from Spring through Fall when there is usually at least one species of Salmon Spawning into local rivers and streams. Salmon can be targeted during this time and can sometimes be so thick in certain rivers that you would be able to catch them with your bare hands. The Kenai area is just a short 20 minute commuter flight (planes leave about each half hour) from Anchorage or a beautiful 147 mile drive through spectacular Alaska scenery. Anchorage has a large international airport and has convenient air service from most major west coast, Midwest and east coast cities. With the amount of daylight we receive in summer (almost 24 hours of it in June and July) you can leave home and arrive with plenty of time to explore the area and get ready for your fishing trip of a lifetime. You decide each day what type of fishing and what species of fish you would like to catch during your Alaska fishing adventure. |
