Alaska Fishing Resorts

See what the interior has to offer...

Alaska fishing resorts can provide you the fishing trip of your dreams. There are few places that are better on the planet to “get away from it all”. The scenery is breathtaking, the people are friendly and the fishing is truly something to behold.

OK, you are right. Alaska is not a part of Canada. But we didn’t want something as simple as an international border to prevent us about talking about one of the greatest fishing locations in the world. Even though it is a part of the USA, it is in Canada’s backyard so we figured “what the heck”!

The fishing is action packed during the summer months when the salmon migrate up the Yukon River. The fish travel well over 1000 miles beyond Whitehorse, Canada, spawning along the way.

Mid to late summer is the best time of year for sheefish as they have been caught in excess of 60 pounds. Grayling and monster northern pike can be found in a variety of locations across the state and people come from afar to land their trophy. These fish lay in wait in untouched rivers and lakes waiting to strike anything that crosses them. There are many Alaska fishing resorts that can help you find your spot!

Beyond the fish, there are many reasons to consider an Alaska fishing vacation. At the top of the list is the scenery! Nearly all the interior is covered by trees except for the sub-alpine and alpine regions. Alaska fishing resorts tucked into these areas are among the most popular when it comes to fishing the interior. The fresh air, the landscape and the Kuskokwim and Yukon rivers create a perfect setting for your Alaska fishing vacation.

Diverse mountain ranges coupled with vast river valleys are the prevailing backdrop of the interior. These river valleys are a fly angler’s paradise as salmon, grayling and rainbow trout stalk these waters looking for prey.

Interior Alaska tends to be much warmer than the coast during the summer months. This is great news for anglers as the long summer days make for unforgettable memories on the water. On top of the wide variety of weather, the fishing is equally diverse providing something for every angler.

Not to be overlooked is the ability for anglers to catch big fish right at the side of the road. “Roadside Salmon Fishing” is a popular activity in this northern most state! A great example of roadside salmon fishing is in the vicinity of Fairbanks. Nearly 400 miles from the coast, Yukon River salmon make their way nearly 1000 miles through twisting and turning waters to run through the region to spawn. The sight is amazing and Alaska fishing resorts can accommodate your every need. Right from the side of the road!

Expert Alaska fishing guides can show you the secrets of the region if you are looking to get into a more secluded area. It doesn’t matter if you are looking for king salmon, rainbow trout or simply a beautiful place to get away from it all, you will not be disappointed.

If you have ever thought about exploring one of the many amazing Alaska fishing resorts, don’t wait any longer. Pack you bags and bring your camera. It truly is the trip of a lifetime. The fishing, the wildlife, the scenery and the people will bring you back for more.
