Alaska
fishing: Prince William Sound
Species
 Anglers in this part of Alaska will find plenty of fishing
opportunity with king (Chinook), sockeye (red), chum, coho (silver) and pink salmon in
good numbers. Dolly Varden, steelhead, cutthroat, halibut and rockfish are also
found here.
There are also shrimp in deeper places of the
Sound as well as crab and other fish and shellfish.
Geography
Prince William Sound is a surprising jewel along the
otherwise rugged Alaska coastline between Cook Inlet and Yakutat Bay. This large
semi-protected sound is surrounded by the coast mountains giving it exceptional scenery.
The area is very wet, making many, many streams and a few lakes, all of which of
course provide fish habitat.
Transportation
The four largest communities around Prince William Sound
are Cordova,
Seward,
Valdez and
Whittier. Seward and Valdez are connected to the
road system.
All four are connected to the road system via the Alaska Marine
Highway. Alaska Airlines offers daily jet service to Cordova, and Valdez has regular
prop aircraft service from Anchorage. Whittier can be accessed from Anchorage
through the Anton Anderson tunnel, a unique railroad/automobile tunnel
that offers alternate access to both transportation types.
