Fishing
At Becharof National Wildlife Refuge
Access by commercial air is necessary to King Salmon, Port Heiden, Kodiak and Cold Bay, and then charter aircraft to the remote locations of Becharof National Wildlife Refuge. The refuge is along the southeastern two-thirds of the Alaska Peninsula, encompassing the Aleutian Range.
The refuge includes numerous ponds, lakes, rivers, streams and estuaries. At 290,000 acres, Becharof Lake serves as a nursery for the world's second largest run of sockeye salmon. All five species of Pacific salmon are available in the freshwater streams and lakes, plus Arctic char, rainbow and lake trout, grayling, dolly varden, northern pike and burbot. Saltwater species include flounder and halibut.
