Great Alaskan Sport Fishing Adventures By Joseph Brown It is every fisherman’s dream to have that Great Alaskan Adventure at least once in his lifetime. Who can blame him? Alaskan rivers are filled with 80-pound salmon or 400-pound halibut fish, all just waiting to fulfill every angler’s fantasies.
The Kenai or Kasilof Rivers are two of the hottest spots for sport adventures. The Kenai River is known for its four species of wild salmon, abundant during the months of May to September. Kenai River King Salmon are some of the biggest in the world. In fact, the world-record holder for King Salmon was fished on the Kenai and weighed almost a hundred pounds! King Salmon put up a tremendous fight, which gives fishers who do catch them a feeling of accomplishment. Coho Salmon can also be quite the acrobatic fish. They are caught on light tackle either in fresh or salt water. Sometimes, the Alaska Department of Fish and Game may order anglers to observe a “catch and release” policy for Salmon. Still, that doesn’t stop anglers from still attempting to catch these fabulous water creatures.
Rainbow Trout and Dolly Varden thrive during the months of July, August and September. Some charters offer guided fly-out trips on a wide array of lakes, streams and rivers, alongside other adventures such as bear viewing. Visitors usually avail of experienced guides and ride on power or drift boats to have a truly fun, but safe expedition.
Saltwater adventures are also available in the State. Some cabin boats seat up to six anglers eager to haul in Alaska’s famed gigantic halibut or king salmon. Like the King Salmon, Halibut are
fierce fighters, and will often make runs for the bottom. Tagging one almost means the battle of your life. The biggest halibut caught weighed a staggering 425 pounds.
Some charters offer trips just for the day, while some offer trips that last as long as four days. Some salmon trips cost as much as a thousand dollars, but they all offer excellent and lodging packages. Some even offer processing, freezing and shipping services so anglers can bring home their prized catch.
Some lodges also offer stream adventures, where anglers can catch trout or coho through fly, spin-casting or bait-casting. Most of the services in Alaska are equipped with only the best boats and the latest, top-of-the-line gear to assure anglers a adventure they will never forget.
