The Best and Only Guide you will need to fish in Alaska
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!

A real Catch!
We bought this for our first road trip to Alaska. The organization and ratings are great. I am sure it will be most helpful.
