Although it is not allowed in national parks, fly and lake fishing in remote areas outside the parks is possible. It is a rewarding and peaceful way to experience the beauty of African scenery and enjoy the country at a leisurely pace.

Sometimes private companies, tour operators, and lodges can arrange for day trips to nearby lakes and rivers, and longer fishing safaris around the region can be organized with tour operators.

First of all, get information from the people who know Alaska best. Don’t try to piece together a trip by yourself! There are many companies and booking agencies that are adept at offering you the information you will need to successfully plan your trip.

They can take a major load off of your footwork. There are so many locations and activities to choose from. They know which resources are the best to use, based upon their geographical locations to the other activities you are interested, pricing and a variety of other factors. This will help you to minimize travel time, save money and make for an overall more rewarding trip.

Another major convenience is to choose a lodge or fishing lodge (depending on which activities you’re interested in) that offers a variety of activities from their home-base. A good fishing lodge will offer you a place to sleep, prepare meals, plan activities and meet in one centralized location. There is nothing more frustrating than trying to organize your day from a location away from your guides or charters. Directions can be lost and plans are often befuddled. Save yourself a headache and consolidate your effort.

Industrial growth and overfishing have led to disturbance of the runs in many of the worlds top fishing locations. Washington, Oregon and California who once enjoyed healthy runs of ocean run salmon, can attest to the destruction of their native runs.

Pollution and industrial growth have decimated many natural river stocks to the point of no repair. Many people are beginning to assume that this is expected wherever you fish, and that the days of healthy wild runs and stocks of fish have long since past.

This is hardly the case in Alaska. Alaska has enjoyed their late start at statehood and have been lucky to learn from the mistakes of other troubled fisheries across the world. Not only did Alaska start with larger runs than other areas in the first place, they have also initiated protection of their rivers and lakes to assure that their waterways don’t see the same destructive fate.

Runs of Salmon and other native fish are as healthy as ever in Alaska, largely due to careful management. Some runs of fish are actually healthier today than they were 50 years ago.

Then of course, there are countless areas of Alaska accessible only by air, that humans normally can’t fish. Yes, Alaska is still one of that last frontiers in the world, and for more than just fishing. Plan a trip today and experience nature in the raw for for yourself. Alaska fishing truly does still rule the world.
