Fly-in Fishing Lodges in Alaska

Alaska's best fishing is accessible only by floatplane. From Lake Hood in Anchorage — the world's busiest seaplane base — to Ketchikan in the southeast and Kodiak Island, bush pilots connect anglers with remote rivers and lodges where the salmon run thick and the bears fish alongside you.
