Alaska Fishing
Come home a hero with terrific stories, photos to prove it, and a freezer full of your own fish. When you plan your trip keep in mind that there are secluded lodges on private land where you could be among the only fishers on the river in the midst of pristine wilderness, or you could go with the once in a lifetime fly-in adventure where it is also common to see moose, whale, eagle, walrus, black and brown bear. Fly-ins will make your vacation more regimented and will add more expense. Inquire about yearly, predictable, solid runs of each species.
Many lodges and guides can accommodate all skill levels from beginning on up. They can provide you with the appropriate tackle for the area and type of fish. While you may want to use your own tackle, going after world record Kenai King salmon, or "Barn Door" halibut requires robust, and sometimes specialized fishing tackle. Check for the practice of catch & release after limits are taken.
Summer Weather and Daylight
Typical days begin with morning temperatures from the low 40's. Expected day-time highs are in the low 70's, with rain or clouds possible anytime. From mid-May through August there are approximately 19 hours of sunlight every day. The sun rises around 3:30 am and sets around 11:00 p.m.
Fishing calendar
Be sure to inquire about the peak seasons for the areas you would like to fish in. June through August is the peak south of the seward peninsula and around the Kenai peninsula the fishing is for King salmon/Red salmon May to July, Silver/Pink -August to September, Rainbow Trout, Arctic Char, and Grayling - May to September.
