Alaska fishing: southeast region
|
Southeast Alaska is also known as the Alexander Archipelago. The landscape is comprised of islands and the mainland Alaska coast. The islands are almost all mountainous or hilly.
This is part of the fabled "Inside Passage" up the west coast, so called because the inland waterways are fairly well protected from the open Pacific. Even so, storms can make even these sheltered waters rough. The islands tend to be thickly forested, with mountains rising to alpine vegetation or glaciers on the mainland and some of the northern islands.
Great fishing and even more uncrowded fishing is also available in more remote communities and lodges around the region.
Southeast Alaska weather is well known for its dampness. However, in the eyes of those familiar with its ways, that moistness is just part of its charm. Summers are mild and cool and typically overcast with drizzle.
There are almost always stretches of dry, relatively warm weather during the summer months. However, anglers should always be prepared with layered clothing, raingear that works even in relentless rain, and an attitude of success even when the weather is less than perfect!
