All Access to Adventurous Fishing in Alaska
7 April 2025

From heli drops to hidden rivers, Game & Fish spotlights CMG’s one-of-a-kind approach to Alaska’s most thrilling angling.

Options for adventure abound in south-central Alaska. There is, of course, great fishing for salmon and trout in seemingly every waterway, and visiting anglers make spending time on the water a priority. Many also recognize that the state offers numerous other activities such as glacier trekking, jet boating, ATV or Jeep touring, flightseeing and dogsledding, along with the more typical hiking and wildlife viewing.

Considering all these opportunities, a lot of anglers don’t need or want to fly to a distant, isolated lodge and fish seven days straight. Those visiting Alaska with their spouse or other family members can blend interesting non-angling outdoor activities with excellent fishing to experience the beauty and bounty that makes Alaska a top destination. To add to the adventure, such day-trip fishing opportunities include exciting and enjoyable forms of transportation.
