Fishing

There's never a bad time to go fishing in Anchorage. Frozen lakes and saltwater kings keep anglers busy in winter, but the fishing craze really heats up in summer. From huge salmon runs of Ship Creek near downtown to monster halibut in the waters of Cook Inlet and beyond, Anchorage is an exhilarating place to cast a line.
