Fly Fishing in Alaska
from:The forty-ninth state in our union is a wonderland of lakes and mountains and rivers and streams. Fly fishing in Alaska is one of the most captivating experiences that fly fishermen can report. In fact, fly fishing in Alaska has become a multi-million dollar industry as anglers flock there to catch prize-winning fish in a beautiful landscape.
Fly fishing in Alaska can be an amazing experience for both experienced as well as beginning anglers. This state, while somewhat remote, has so much to offer people who decide that fishing the waters of Alaska would be the way to go. Where are the best spots?
It is generally agreed upon that Katmai, Alaska is one of the best fly fishing spots in Alaska. Alaska is a magical place, and Katmai is one of the most wondrous. This area has been designated as the only trophy sport fishing area in the entire state. There are over 1,000 miles of streams and rivers to fish for such prizes as coho salmon, rainbow trout, and award-winning pike. There are many lodges in this part of Alaska that will provide guides for you and give you a real Alaskan fly fishing adventure!
Many of the lodges in Alaska are fly-in only meaning they can only be reached by floatplane or train. One of the best places for fly fishing in Alaska can be found on Lake Creek which is northwest of Anchorage. On this creek, you can expect to catch some beautiful king salmon, pink salmon, and rainbow trout. You will be isolated, but the scenery and experience is absolutely second to none!
The Alagnak River is another great fly fishing destination in Alaska. This river is just a few miles away from Bristol Bay providing some great tidal waters that breed wonderful fish. Chrome-bright salmon will stay here for a few days after coming in from the ocean and getting used to their new freshwater environment. Each new tide brings in a new crop of fish, so there is always a great chance of landing not just one but several fish on every expedition.
You can find some trophy-sized salmon in the Kenai River of Alaska as well as rainbow trout. This is a beautiful river with easy access provided you have a guide to lead you. There are plenty of places where you can find a guide, so when planning a fly fishing trip to Alaska, be sure to book a guide if your lodge doesn’t offer one.
Alaska is a beautiful, wondrous state full of adventure and peacefulness alike. The fly fishing in Alaska is renowned for its abundance of fish. You will have an experience beyond your wildest dreams when you are fly fishing in Alaska. Plan today and make the trip of your fly fishing dreams a reality – in Alaska!

It had all the makings of a very frustrating experience. Big fish were rolling on the surface, slurping the small bait that was thrust into the wash.
