Salmon and steelhead trout, returning to the rivers, attract both humans and bears eager to face the challenge of catching a fresh meal. Know before you go. All depend on a healthy habitat for their continued health and abundance. The salmon are born, spend their early lives, and return to spawn in the rivers, streams, and lakes of the Tongass. The Forest Service manages these waterways and the land around them to assure their continuing health.
Sport fishing is regulated by the State of Alaska.
Be sure to check the regulations before you head out to try your hand at landing any of the water's bounty. You can get help with that from the pages listed below.
