Sport fishing in Alaska is famous, whether you are an ardent fly fisherman or prefer spin casting. Both the crystal clear streams and the glacial silt rivers are home to abundant fish. Five species of salmon load up the streams and rivers all over the state, and lakes are home to lake trout and pike. Fly fishing for trout, arctic grayling and salmon is a thrill, and ocean fishing for either king salmon or the prized Pacific halibut is a mecca experience for many visitors.
