Trout Fishing in Alaska

Find excellent trout fishing all across Alaska including Aleknagik Lake, Becharof Lake, Lake Clark, Iliamna Lake and many other lakes plus plenty of streams and rivers which hold nice populations of trout.

The Alaska state record cutthroat trout was caught in Wilson Lake. The Wulik River produced the Alaska state record dolly varden trout and Clarence Lake was home to the AK state record lake trout.

Visit the Alaska Department of Fish & Game website for information about trout fishing in Alaska.

The 5 primary trouts are the rainbow, brook, brown, cutthroat and lake trout. Brown trout are considered the most difficult to catch and brookies are the easiest. Pure cold water is key to survival of the trouts and the brook trout is the most sensitive to temperature. The others are comfortable in slightly warmer waters.
