The Highway Angler is the most comprehensive and informative guide book yet published on the subject of sport fishing Alaska's roadside waters. Packed with facts, cross-referenced, and easy to read, The Highway Angler tells you everything you need to know -- locations, access, species available, terminal gear, techniques, timing, and much more! It lists in detail more than 750 rivers, creeks, lakes, and saltwater hot spots along the state's major roads and highways from the U.S.-Canada border and the highland drainages of Yukon and Tanana rivers to Kachemak Bay and the popular Kenai Peninsula, and from the frigid coast of the Arctic Ocean to the surf-swept shores of Prince William Sound. For well over a decade, The Highway Angler has successfully guided thousands of people, both novice and expert alike, in discovering some of the best fishing in the world. This book is a must for any angler, whether local or visiting, who hopes to wet a line along Alaska's vast road system. These pages provide a thorough look at the opportunities available and the sport fish that inhabit the cold waters of The Last Frontier.

The Best and Only Guide you will need to fish in Alaska,
By BowBev (Barry, South Wales) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Highway Angler: Fishing Alaska's Road System. Fifth Edition. (Paperback)
My husband and I bought the previous edition of this book on our first trip to Alaska in 2005, having previously bought others. This soon out weighed the others in valuable information and became our 'bible' for our travels in the state for fishing. The book provides easy to understand information, straight to the point and is easy to use; you can navigate the pages according to the areas you are fishing easily. We achieved fishing beyond our dreams on our 1st trip and have returned a further 3 times to the state, buying this updated Highway Angler 5 for use again! Whether sea, fly fishing or spinning, if you buy just one book for your trip (handy size for the luggage), let it be this one. Screaming reels to one and all!

This review is from: The Highway Angler: Fishing Alaska's Road System. Fifth Edition. (Paperback)
I love the detailed information about the wealth of fishing opportunities that abound along the roadside in Alaska and along the Alaskan Highway. With this book, you know what fish are there, the tackle needed, and best time of year to catch fish. This is a great addition to your Alaska Book Library!
