A treasure trove awaits adventurous anglers in the country's Last Frontier--nearly 600,000 square miles with more wildlands that any other state, 34,000 miles of coastal shoreline, millions of acres of national parkland and forest, and 42 Wild and Scenic Rivers. Boasting more than a million lakes and thousands of rivers and streams, Alaska has more abundance and variety of cold-water game fish than any place on the planet.
