When it came time to find a construction contractor for a restoration project on a remote, mostly uninhabited island in Southeast Alaska, Trout Unlimited’s Alaska habitat restoration director, Aaron Prussian, didn’t have to look very far.
What an industrial access road means for a remote region with some of the best hunting and fishing in southcentral Alaska.
“When we think about people, and the ‘habitat’ people utilize, we don’t just look at the superhighways where they can easily be seen traveling,” he said. “People don’t live on the freeways, people don’t ‘spawn’ on the freeways or on their commute.”
Getting ready for spring fishing in Southeast Alaska.

Photo: Pat Ford By: Nelli Williams Dear Alaska angler: Some of you might be wondering, how did the results of Tuesday’s election change our ability to protect Bristol Bay and the places around Alaska that we love to hunt and fish.

For several months when the sun is at its peak and salmon are making their upstream journey, Alaskans are fishing, harvesting, and exploring to the fullest extent possible. Summer is brief, and we hone our skills to seize every free moment. Now though, with changing colors and cooler temperatures of fall, life has slowed down.…
I always look forward to this time of year, when the ice is newly broken off our nearby lakes, the black flies and mosquitos aren’t too ferocious, and the resident fish are extremely hungry. Unfortunately, lake fishing in Alaska often plays second fiddle, and is too often taken for granted, when compared to our state’s…
