Battered and fried over a campfire, roasted whole on sticks, baked in hobo packets on hot coals—no matter how it’s fixed, freshly caught fish can be the highlight of a meal enjoyed after a day of successful fishing, that is, if the catch is properly cared for before cooking.
Lakes in Alaska
|
Alaska has an astounding number of lakes—over three million! Some are natural, some manmade, and many are unnamed. The most renowned include Iliamna Lake, Aleknagik Lake, Becharof Lake and Lake Clark. If you're a lake enthusiast, you won’t want to miss them! Located in southwestern Alaska, Iliamna is the state's largest lake, measuring approximately 30 miles wide and 100 miles long. A popular vacation spot for anglers, boaters and nature lovers, it's home to trout, salmon and seals. At 300,000 acres, Becharof is the state's second largest lake. Popular with fishers, Becharof is rife with sockeye salmon, as are its tributaries. Lake Clark in Lake Clark National Park is also popular with fishers and boaters, as is Lake Aleknagik in Lake Aleknagik State Recreation Area near Wood-Tikchik State Park and the city of Dillingham. |
