One of the activities becoming more popular in the state is Alaska Sport Fishing which is gaining recognition from locals and visitors alike.

There is an abundance of fish for enthusiast of the activity, and it is becoming one of the most popular destinations for sport fishing. There are several beautiful places on offer depending on what you want to catch. One of the most popular choices is salmon.
