FISHING

There are five species of salmon (king, coho, sockeye, chum and pink) which migrate to their spawning rivers and streams in our world-class fishing grounds.

King Salmon

The current sport-caught record-holding coho weighing 26 pounds was caught here in Icy Strait .

And speaking of records, just around the corner from Hoonah, a 440 pound world-record halibut was caught.

Freshwater fishing is also superb. Streams abound in season with cutthroat and rainbow trout, dolly varden char and steelhead, as well as salmon.

Alaska sport fishing regulations can be found at www.sf.adfg.state.ak.us
