Cook Inlet sport fisheries are some of the most prolific, popular, and accessible sport fishing opportunities in Alaska.\u00a0 The Kenai River is known for its large and feisty Chinook salmon as well as a tremendous run of sockeye salmon. The Susitna River has also boasted a popular sport fi<\/text>shery for coho and Chinook salmon <\/text>in the past, though in recent years both rivers have seen a decline in the abundance of fish due to a change<\/text>\u00a0in ocean conditions.<\/text><\/p>\n

Sport fishing in the Cook Inlet watershed occurs in both the marine and freshwater environments.\u00a0 Anglers pursue a wide variety of species, including Chinook, coho, sockeye, chum, and pink salmon, as well as several species of trout. Marine angling can include rockfish, halibut, lingcod, and more.<\/p>\n

Sport anglers do not have to be Alaskan residents, and the Kenai Peninsula freshwater sport fisheries draw visitors from all over the world. Anglers can participate by trying their luck on their own, or using local knowledge by hiring a guide<\/a> to take them to prime fishing spots.\u00a0 Sport fishing is regulated by the Alaska Department of Fish and Game and the Alaska Board of Fisheries.<\/p>\n
