Salt Water Fishing

Salmon is the main draw for salt-water fishers, but there are opportunities for halibut, shrimp, and picking clams and mussels from the beaches of Prince William Sound.

Make sure you get a permit from Alaska Fish & Game.

Hunting

Hunting on the Chugach can be a rewarding experience. Black and brown bear, Sitka black-tailed deer, moose, mountain goat, and sheep, all live in the Forest. 

There is also an abundance of wildfowl, both shorebirds (ducks and geese), and inland birds (grouse, ptarmigan).

Be sure to check the Alaska Department of Fish & Game for rules, regulations, and seasons. And permits.

Choose from the following to find a site:

Game Bird/Waterfowl

Ptarmigan on the upper slopes of the Forest, grouse in the spruce thickets, ducks, geese, etc., down on the water. There are a lot of birds out there. Check the regulations before pulling the trigger.

Game Bird/Waterfowl Areas

  • Tiedeman Slough
  • Devil's Pass Cabin
  • Johnson Pass Trail North - INHT

Big Game Hunting

Brown and black bear can be found across a large part of the Forest, along with moose. Look for deer in Prince William Sound and parts of the Copper River Delta.

Sheep and goats stick to the mountainous regions, but can be found in all three districts of the Chugach.

Seasons and regulations can vary by location.
