Alaska
Pacific Salmon & Trout
Alaska has some of the most exciting freshwater fishing in the world with its huge runs of Pacific salmon. Each year the 5 different species of salmon begin their journey through the river systems returning to the spawning grounds. The migration starts with the biggest salmon, the chinook (king salmon) and continues through to the smaller but more acrobatic sockeye and to what the Alaskans regard as the prize fish, the silver salmon.
Add to this possibility of struggling with hard fighting rainbow trout and dolly varden and you are in fishing paradise. Wildlife abounds throughout the remote Alaskan wilderness and it is not unusual to see moose, caribou, bald eagles and the occasional bear while out fishing.
