These Amazing Spots Near Juneau, Alaska Are Perfect To Go Fishing

Few things in the world are more relaxing – or more exciting, depending on the day – than fishing. With so many freshwater lakes and rivers, fishing in Juneau, Alaska is top-rated. From ice fishing to shore casting, here are some of the best spots to try your luck. Please note, that these aren’t ranked in any particular order, but we have mentioned some of the fish you’re most likely to catch.

Winter Ice Fishing:

Later this winter, as freshwater lakes ice over, opportunities for ice fishing will be available. Ice fishing is typically done with light tackle and with the use of an “auger” to open a hole in the ice. By regulation, sport fishing through the ice is permitted with the use of two closely attended lines, provided only one hook or artifical lure is used on each line. Various lakes along the Juneau road system are open to ice fishing for “over-wintering” trout and Dolly Varden. Please check the 2019 Sport Fishing Regulations Booklet (https://www.adfg.alaska.gov/index.cfm?adfg=fishregulations.se_sportfish) for lakes that are open and the associated regulations. Remember, most lakes in the Juneau area are off limits to the use of bait so be sure to check the regulations. It’s also always a good idea to check the local ice and weather conditions before heading onto the ice. Be safe, stay warm and have fun!
