Below is a simple guide with 5 topics to help you choose an Alaskan fishing adventure, cabin or destination that meets your expectations for a truly “World Class” Alaskan fishing experience.
1.) Salt or fresh water? Alaska offers many different fishing opportunities in both salt and fresh water environments. To narrow down the area of Alaska where you will fish, you must first decide on your ideal location. Decide whether you want to hunt for flounder in the deep Pacific Ocean offshore school or flyfish, a pristine mountain tributary for river salmon. Do you want to fish for large herds of coho salmon in Prince William Sound or hunt for rainbow trout in a lush creek inland? These are just a few examples of deep sea vs. deep sea fishing opportunities. Alaska’s inland freshwater area. Some research in this area is useful, but your initial decision should be based on your preferred fishing style. Note that there are many areas in south-central Alaska where you can combine a freshwater river experience with a few days of sea fishing within a few hours of travel.
2.) Choose your fishing style. Prefer fishing from a boat? Are you a fly fisherman or want to master the art? Do you want a combination of spin fishing and fly fishing? Do you prefer kicking and throwing, or do you sleep in the boat waiting for your beaver to fall? Enjoy chasing big rivers, creeks, lakes, oceans, estuaries, etc.
3.) Should I hire a guide?

Local fishing guides will not only help you find fish, but will also teach you the best techniques to lure them into fishing, learn about local history and wildlife, and make great friends in the water.

4.) On or off road? Of course, when you fish in salt water, you leave the highway system by boat and capture the millions of acres of blue ocean land that Alaska blesses. You may be in good company in confined areas and hot spots, but you will rarely fight other fishermen or other boats. Your biggest competition is the number of other fishermen who share the boat with you.
