You might find information in these 2 sites ... Alaska Fish&Game or Alaska Outdoor Journal.

Also, google the town web sites ... town name plus 'visitor information' or 'chamber of commerce'.

Do you have a car and could pull over anywhere between Anchorage and Denali ?

I wanted to do some freshwater fisihing while in Ketchikan, my DW wanted to do a flightseeing tour. I found one that does both, a 1 hour flightseeing and then lands on a lake for 1 hour of fly or spincast fishing. We don't go until mid July, so I can't tell you how it was yet, but I booked it through Shoretrips.com.

 

A couple of years ago I went stream fishing in Talkeetna, which is fairly close to Denali. I used Fishbone Charters. Took my Mother-in-law and father-in-law, it was great!

I wonder how good is freshwater fishing around Ketchikan though? Its an island after all.

Right in the middle of Ketchican there is a metal bridge with a stream for the price of a one day fishing lic.(10 dollars in 2001) I caught 35 salmon (Pinks) in Sept .I had a pack rod (five piece) and the lic. guy sold me some lures that worked great.

Ketchikan is not an island. It has a lot of fresh water from snow run off and plenty of rain.

Yes Ketchikan is on an island. Its called Revillagigedo.

 

Just Google Map it.
