Remote fishing Alaska
« on: December 11, 2009, 04:54:03 PM »
I'm interested in finding the most remote location in Alaska that people go to for fishing (lakes/rivers).  This would of course most likely involve the use of a float/bush plane to get there.  My google-fu has been somewhat weak on this.  What have you all experienced, or where would you suggest I look?

Oh.  I thought this was a thread about robotic fishing poles you could operate from a web site.  Pity.

The phrase is fly-in or fly-out fishing.

Google it and you'll have a pile of flight services, guides and lodges to choose from.

If you're wanting some real game fishing, go somewhere with lots of grizzly bears  :lol:

Mostly I'm doing some research for a friend for a potential business project.  Some good info.  Thanks.

Pffffffffft............ Other than for halibut, I don't fish. I hit up some of my buds who are commercial fishermen and loot their fish holds of all the kings and reds I can load up in a tote and drag away when they make short hauls that they can't unload at the processor.  =D

Seriously though, if I had to pick one area it would be the Dillingham area on the north side of Bristol Bay. There are several rivers that eventually lead up into a complex lake system that makes the Bristol Bay fishery the biggest and most lucrative in the world.

You have all five species of pacific salmon, rainbows, char/dolly varden, grayling, lake trout up in the lakes and several others.
Be careful that the toes you step on now aren't connected to the ass you have to kiss later.
