Fly Fishing in Anchorage

Avid anglers dream of the kind of fishing experiences that can only happen in places like Anchorage, Alaska. During the summer months, the weather stays comfortably in the 70s and you can cast your rod well into the evening under the midnight sun.

  1. The Fish

    • The rivers in and around Anchorage offer world class fishing for rainbow trout, five species of Pacific salmon and monster halibut that can weigh up to 300 pounds. Many of the area lakes are stocked with Dolly Varden, Arctic Char and Arctic grayling.

    Guides

    • You can sign up for charter fishing tours with expert guides that know the hot fishing spots and guarantee your satisfaction. Fishermans' Choice Charters has been voted Mat-Su Valley's best salmon and trout fishing charter almost every year since 2000.

    Fishing License

    • Go to the Alaska Department of Fish and Game website and print the forms needed to send in for your Alaska fishing license. A special stamp is required if you intend to fish for King Salmon. Keep your license on you at all times while you are fishing.
