Fishing 
Southwest Alaska offers some of
the finest fishing in North America. Home of the world's largest
sockeye salmon run, the rivers also have major silver and king salmon
runs. World class rainbow trout, arctic grayling, arctic char, northern
pike and lake trout are found in many rivers and lakes.

Alaska, make sure your timing is right, because most fishing for the anadromous species occurs during specific periods
of the year, ensuring that you get the greatest opportunity for success.
