ALASKA TROUT
Alaska lays claim to a lot of the “biggest” records. It has the longest coastline in the United States. The tallest mountains. The largest land area. And yet, in a stroke of good luck, Alaska has the lowest population density in the country, with barely 1 person for ever square mile of land—which means there are far more trout than people in the 49th state. Those trout might take a bit more work to get to, but you can rest assured that when you do get to them they’ll be measured in feet, not inches. Explore some of our favorite setups perfect for targeting trophy trout throughout Alaska.
