Alaska

Imagine your holiday in Alaska for one moment. Your delight when you spot a grizzly bear with a cub or two in tow. That instant when the silence of a misty fjord is shattered by a pod of giant humpback whales, breaching high into the air and then crashing back against the sea while your floatplane flies over crystal glaciers, toward the midnight sun, remember: This is Alaska. This is real. This is an adventure of a lifetime.

Alaska offers some of the most spectacular fly-fishing, saltwater fishing, freshwater fishing and even ice fishing in the world, with more than 627 species that inhabit the Alaskan waters. So with over 3 million lakes, 3,000 rivers and countless fish-filled streams, the challenge isn’t catching fish, but deciding what kind to catch and where - the fishing is different from anywhere else in the world. It’s an angler’s dream. The summer waters teem with five kinds of wild Pacific Salmon (King/Chinook, Silver/Coho, Red/Sockeye, Pink/Humpback and Chum), plus hefty Steelhead, Rainbow Trout and delicate Arctic Grayling. The main Salmon fishing starts as the fresh chrome coloured Kings start to run from the sea, up the river, towards their spawning grounds. They enter in their thousands around June through to July; fish weighing in at around 20lbs, 40lbs and indeed more. At this time of year we have had a group of eight anglers catch over 300 Kings in just five days fishing. Along with the Kings are the Chum Salmon, although smaller they are equally good sport on balanced fly fishing tackle. The Chum is followed by the Pinks in August, which mass in astonishing numbers. Plus do not forget there are the hefty Rainbows that gorge themselves on Salmon eggs, along with the Arctic Grayling that all offer tremendous sport on light tackle. With all this abundance, variety and choice in such a wild, dramatic setting, Alaska surely offers the ultimate game fishing adventure.
