Alaska day fishing can be an unforgettable experience. We provide you with everything you need for a full day of fishing and fun and the opportunity to catch and release your fish in state waters.
Difference Between Saltwater Fishing and Freshwater Fishing
Saltwater Fishing
A saltwater fishing excursion involves a trip by boat to fish in the ocean or sea. These waters generally do not freeze in any season and often stay at a warm temperature year-round, making saltwater fishing one of the top sports.
Freshwater Fishing
Freshwater fishing is taking fish from freshwater water, such as rivers and lakes. Freshwater fishing includes many techniques: some are done by fly anglers, and regular anglers do others. Since freshwater fish live in shallow water, they are easier to catch than saltwater fish.
Fishing Destination Spots in Alaska
Alaska has some of the best fishing destinations.
Homer
Homer is the best place in Alaska for saltwater fishing. Home to world-class beaches, spectacular fishing, and its unique lifestyle, Homer sits at the base of Kachemak Bay, just a short drive from Anchorage.
Bristol Bay
For salmon fishing, go to Bristol Bay. It is a location rich in history and has just about everything you can ask for in a fishing trip: the fish, the weather, the scenery, and a small but vibrant community around the sport.
Kvichak River
Kvichak River is considered an Alaska Peninsula jewel of a fishery, with world-class trout fishing for rainbow and brown trout.
Kodiak Island Archipelago
As a fishing destination, Alaska offers a variety of remote locations. But Kodiak Island Archipelago is a cut above the rest, with world-class king salmon fishing and more opportunities to catch large halibut than most other places.
Why Do Anglers in Alaska Catch and Release Fish?
Increasing numbers of anglers are fishing our accessible waters and remote areas of the state. Continuation of Alaska’s high quality sport fishing depends upon more anglers choosing to practice catch and release when fishing for our resident fish species. An objective of the Division of Sport Fish is to provide a diversity of fishing opportunities while assuring the conservation of Alaska’s stocks of fish. You help do this when you harvest only those fish you will use and release the rest of your catch unharmed. Using catch and release techniques to land your fish when practicing selective harvest also assures that the fish will be in the best possible physical condition when you make the decision to harvest it for food or to release it.
