Fishing adventures in Alaska's national forests
The TongassIn this video below you’ll discover the art of fly fishing and how this age-old method can be enjoyed at any stage of life as a young kid, his dad and grandpa venture into America’s Last Frontier — the Alaskan wilderness. Together, on the banks of rivers in the Tongass National Forest, they use the artful methods of fishing to catch an astounding thirty fish, everything from cutthroat trout to silver salmon. Between casts, you’ll also learn about ecosystem science, aquatic biology and history while getting a firsthand look at the wildlife wonders in our nation’s largest National Forest… as you wade into this flyfishing adventure.
