River and Stream Fishing
Fishing is where it's at for a large part of the visitors to the Forest. The world-famous Kenai and Russian Rivers on the Kenai Peninsula sport hard-charging red and silver salmon, and tremendous rainbow trout. The salt waters and stream mouths of Prince William Sound and the Copper River Delta abound with salmon, bottom-fish, and shellfish in season in season.
After you get your license from Alaska Fish & Game, get out there and drop a line.
