I am fishing in the valley mostly, but willing to drive pretty much anywhere for a big laker.

Hi, I'm Stan

I've lived here for about 7 years and fish a lot in the summer, but today is the first time I've ever been ice fishing. Looks like I'm going to continue! I bought a couple of poles and a shelter. Need to start looking at augurs, and trying to figure out what to buy for tackle. I will probably fish in the valley most of the time, but the friends who took us out today want to go try Summit and Hidden next.

Hello everyone I'm Kris.
I was born in Minnesota, but raised in Oregon. 
One would think ice fishing is in my blood, it probably is. I really enjoy it, but I can't catch a pike to save my life!  I must say it really bothers me too! 
I moved up here the first week of January and have only fished for pike for three days. I know I can't expect to be successful every time, but you'd think I'd get something!  I use to be a steelhead fisherman and now I'm trying to fill the void!  I guess that's why it's fishing and not catching! Lol. I'll get it figured out sooner or later.
If you see a gray Toyota with a U of O sticker on the canopy stop by and introduce yourself.

Cheers, Kris
Cheers, Kris

Hello everyone. My name is Cody. I'm from Petersburg in southeast. Right now i'm going taking the industrial electricity course at AVTEC in Seward right now. This is my first year ice fishing seeing as how there isn't much opportunity back home. Been trying around town at grouse lake but haven't had any luck. Hoping I can catch something by the end of the season

Hello all, my name is Curtis. I've lived in Alaska almost all my life. I'm not new to ice fishing, although I'm new to ice fishing in this part of the state. I grew up fishing the Bering Sea and surrounding lagoons when the ice did form. Most of the places I've fished so far with my family are the stocked lakes in the Valley, and Hidden Lake.

Hi everyone,

My name's Geoff, I'm from Whitehorse, YT, (hopefully there's no rules against saying 'eh' in the alaska forum..).

I've been poring-over old posts in the Alaska forum for tips on river fishing for burbot.  I've had great success set-lining in lakes, and I'd love to find em and learn to catch em in the Yukon and Takhini rivers near Whitehorse.

Anyone who's thinking of some cross-border fishing, fire me a PM!

Hey all. I fish a lot. Have been reading stuff on here for a while now and decided today that I should probably join and maybe contribute a little bit. I'll try not to be too sarcastic most of the time.  I grew up fishing hardwater in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan targeting walleye primarily. Been in AK since 2003 and fished the interior for a number of years before relocating to Palmer. Ain't life grand? Cheers and see ya's on da ice!

I just started ice fishing for Pike last winter, I'm a lifelong Alaskan and have never done that much ice fishing until last year. I live in Anchorage so most of my pike fishing is in the valley, I'm going to try to do some fishing for lake trout, rainbows and grayling this winter. Has anyone ever fished Byers lake it's the one by the veterans memorial not sure if I spelled it right LOL, I was wondering how the fishing was there. Also has anyone done any fishing for grayling that's not a days drive.

Hello all,
Grew up in Minnesota ice fishing all winter with my dad when I was young and then whenever I could once I was driving.  Joined the Air Force and didn't get to do it after that, until now.  Finally made it to Alaska (in 2009) and getting back into ice fishing.  A lot different up here and was surprised that not many people out there and no permanent house out on the lakes like MN.  Anyway, just found this site last night and always looking for tips, advice, good lakes etc.  Thanks,
Troy

Hello Anglers!,

I'm somewhat new to Alaska, (moved away 10 years ago). Now that I'm back, I want to get on the hardwater. Been cutting holes down in Wyoming for the last few years and am hooked! I'm looking to catch Rainbows, Macs, and Northerns. I live in Palmer and am looking for a few good spots to check out near by. Anybody got an suggestions? Any advise is really appreciated.

Happy fishin' fellers.

I lived in big lake last winter and did some ice fishing out that way lot of good lakes around you I did OK on finger lake caught some nice trout on loon lack out in Houston and big lake is supposed to be good.I bought a matsu susitna fishing map at sportsmans warhorse in Willa and it was really helpful a lot of lake's in the valley.so I would say just get out there and check them all out if you can find that map start with the lakes that they have hi lighted that's what I did and it worked out pretty good

Check the ADF&G stocking info pages. They have lake maps and directions as well as the stocking data on what species and how many they put in.
Another good one is the book the highway angler ice fishing Alaska by Gunnar Pedersen. I really only use it to find the public access to the lakes in my area but it is good for that as many lakes have acccesses that are hard to find.
It is nice as he has a lot of the road system lakes listed with species available and directions to the public access.
