Fishing near Seward, AK


Seward sits at the head of Resurrection Bay on the southeastern Kenai Peninsula, surrounded by Kenai Fjords National Park and Chugach National Forest. The bay's deep fjord structure — exceeding 900 feet in places — funnels halibut, all five Pacific salmon species, rockfish, and lingcod close to shore. Freshwater lakes and streams in the surrounding hills hold rainbow trout, Dolly Varden, lake trout, and Arctic grayling, while the Kenai River near Cooper Landing is within an hour's drive for world-class fly fishing.
