Fairbanks-area fishing

Head out along the Chena for grayling

Alaska.com
Although Fairbanks isn't an angling hot spot, the Chena River offers opportunities for catch-and-release grayling fishing. Grayling, popular for their willingness to bite, are available just about anywhere in the Interior where a road crosses a stream.

Southeast of town, lakes along the Richardson Highway present grayling and northern pike. For salmon, many Fairbanksans head down the Richardson to dipnet kings and reds out of the Copper River and to seek salmon and halibut in Prince William Sound out of Valdez.

Fairbanks is also the takeoff spot for anglers heading into the bush, especially the meandering rivers of the national wildlife refuges where monster pike lurk.
