Fly Odyssey: Freshwater Fly Fishing Destination: Alaska

Fly-fishing in Alaska

There is not another country anywhere in the world in which the sport of fly fishing is more suited for anyone interested in chasing salmonids on a fly. King salmon, silver salmon, sockeye salmon, pink salmon, chum salmon, rainbow trout, dolly varden, steelhead. What more could any die hard trout or salmon fishermen want. But Alaska has more than just fishing. This big wilderness provides nature lovers a huge range of environments to explore and wildlife to view.

The Kenai Peninsula

One of the world's most famous Pacific salmon destinations is the The Kenai Peninsula, located just south of Anchorage. The Kenai has been called a microcosm of Alaska; over 16,000 square miles of impossible beauty and bounty. Since the late 1800’s, adventurers have crossed the globe to experience its incredible variety of glacial ice and towering peaks, gentle lowlands, tundra, breathtaking saltwater fjords and abundant wildlife and of course great fishing.
