What comes to mind when you think about fishing? Patience, relaxation, challenge, and memories are a few words often associated with fishing. You will find all that and a sense of stewardship, conservation, and preservation while fishing on the Alagnak River.

The Alagnak River is a premiere destination for sport fishing. Rainbow trout, char, grayling, and abundant salmon coupled with a wilderness landscape provide excellent fishing experiences for adventurous anglers.

Remember that you are fishing in bear country. Bears have the right to prime fishing sites, as fish are a critical food source for them. Give bears plenty of time and room to fish. 

Alagnak Wild River allows fishing as a means of providing for public enjoyment, and customary and traditional use, and regulates fishing to ensure that it is managed in a manner that avoids unacceptable impacts to park resources. Anglers must abide by all State of Alaska fishing regulations.
