Alaska Fishing - Katmai National Park
Sport fishing in Katmai is world-class - jumbo rainbow trout pulled from the local waters put the park on the map in the 1950s. On the Algagnek and Naknek Rivers, you can reel in rainbow trout, char, grayling, pike, and five species of Pacific salmon. The northern pike, which goes by a slew of monikers - including water wolf, devilfish, jackfish, and snake - is renowned for its barracuda-like savagery when feeding; its powerful jaws are lined with 700 razor-sharp teeth. Definitely pack a fisherman's hemostat to remove your hook!
