There’s a general rule of thumb when it comes to fishing in Alaska — whatever species you’re chasing, there's far more of them in Alaska than almost anywhere else on the planet. Steelhead in the 49th state are no exception, and that’s a good thing, especially given the mounting challenges steelhead populations in the lower 48 and British Columbia have been facing in recent years.

Atlantic salmon might be the most storied and prized fish for fly anglers. And Flowers River Lodge, the northernmost scheduled salmon river in North America, is perhaps the best destination in the hemisphere for die-hard fly anglers looking to tangle with a fish of a lifetime. Every summer, Atlantic salmon course up the stunning Flowers River on their annual migration, and anglers smart enough to book a trip to Flowers River Lodge are there to meet them.
