(From the back cover)  Every angler dreams of fishing Alaska - the ultimate fishing experience, whether you are fly-fishing for native rainbow trout in pristine mountain streams or spin-casting for king salmon in glacier-fed rivers and saltwater bays.  Add the backdrop of Alaska's spectacular mountains and wildlife, and you have the makings of an unforgettable experience.

Fishing Alaska front cover ~ click to enlargeIn Fishing Alaska, formerly The Angler's Guide to Alaska, long-time residents and outdoor writers Evan and Margaret Swensen describe more than 100 of Alaska's hottest river fishing spots from the Panhandle to the Yukon River.

Fishing Alaska back cover ~ click to enlargeMore than fifty easy-to-use charts and tables offer advice on when the fish are biting and how you can catch them - from trout to salmon, or halibut to shellfish.  The Swensens share local tips on the best flies and lures to use and provide dozens of detailed maps of the best fishing areas.

Packed with practical advice and useful information, Fishing Alaska is a valuable reference for anyone who wants to enjoy Alaska's fabulous fishing.
