Alaska Sport Fishing....
Sport fishing is the number one sport and outdoor recreation
in Alaska. Alaskans spend their vacations, days off, and time before and
after work fishing. Tourists almost always spend some time fishing for
salmon, halibut, and other Alaska fish. Alaska ranks among the best places in the world for sport
fishing. King salmon weighing over 50 pounds are common. Sockeye salmon enter Alaska's waters in the millions.
Pink salmon, while smaller, are even more plentiful. Silver salmon may be, pound for pound, the best fighters.
Halibut
can weigh 300 pounds or more. Rainbow trout are abundant in area rivers
& lakes, supplemented by regular stocking.
