Fishing

At Arctic National Wildlife Refuge

The fresh and marine waters of Arctic National Wildlife Refuge support at least 36 species of fish, and fish are an important subsistence resource to local residents. Visitors camping along or floating refuge rivers typically fish for Dolly Varden and Arctic grayling. 

Follow Alaska state fishing regulations (Alaska Department of Fish and Game).
