Author: Ray La Foy

There's a lot of reasons why avid fishermen say Alaska is the place to be for an excursion that will result in a lifetime of memories. Whether it's a weekend trip or a full-blown two-week excursion, Alaska fishing is like nothing else an outdoors type will experience. Offering a huge variety of fishing opportunities along with some great sights, this state is a favorite for tourists all over the world.

With a backdrop that's incredible, those on Alaskan fishing excursions will find that although the fishing is fantastic there's a lot more to see and do as well. The state offers a variety of fishing experiences, too, with oceans, rivers, lakes and streams all available for casting a line. Fish common here include salmon, rainbow trout, halibut and more.

The state offers a variety of fishing expeditions, too, with a number of different regions to choose from. Those who want to take an Alaskan fishing trip will find there are dedicated fishing lodges, camping areas, guided tours, charters, fly-ins and more all waiting to be explored.

The regions available for fishing include the south central, southeast, southwest, interior and the far north. Each area has its own distinct draws, but rest assured there's some spectacular fishing in all.

The Kenai Peninsula, for example, is the place to be for king salmon, silver salmon, trout or even halibut. The Kenai River is prime for fishing in the summer months, from May to July, and this area has a number of different charter, camping and lodge possibilities going for it.

Fishing lodges are often the route many Alaskan visitors go with for some serious casting. By providing a warm, comfortable base camp for fishing action and some good guides and advice on where to go, these places can serve not only as the background for a great fishing trip, they also work well for family vacations.

Make no mistake, there's more to do in Alaska than just cast a line. For those who might want to go along for the ride, the scenery is breathtaking. Depending on the part of the state that's chosen for the excursion, there are parks to explore, animals to spot, trails to hike, glaciers to check out and a native culture that's amazing. This is where a good lodge can come into play for others along on a trip that don't want to actually fish. Lodges can help accommodate a number of sight-seeing possibilities for family members while making sure the angler or fly fishermen get their share of excitement, too.

The Alaskan countryside offers some of the most beautiful scenery anywhere in the world. With mountain landscapes, glaciers and wildlife that includes bears, moose, whales and more (depending on where in the state a visitor goes) the vistas prove to be amazing.

To plan an Alaskan trip, it's wise to check out what's available, look at the different options and go with what will pack in the most fun. If it's straight fishing a vacationer wants, there are lodges to accommodate. If some side sightseeing is in order, too, that possibility is more than available.
