Like many of you, we watch a lot of fishing videos throughout the year as we look forward to a future Alaska fishing trip. The best videos, in our opinion, highlight the beauty of the Alaskan outdoors along with the excitement of great Alaskan fishing. We make notes of some of our favorite videos each year and offer them up for you to check out because it's hard to see every video that's put out there.

This years favorites include a float trip, a unique solo trip, and some great fishing for rainbow trout, salmon, and more. So, here are our five favorite Alaskan fishing trip videos from 2019 – let us know if you see any in 2020 that we should consider...and if you want to check out last years list go here to see our favorite alaska fishing videos from 2018.

Best Fishing Trip: 100-Mile River, Fly Fishing Alaska

This video highlights a groups Alaska float trip down the 100 mile long Kisaralik River, a tributary of the Kuskokwim River in the Southwestern region of Alaska. Float trips offer a unique Alaska fishing experience and this trip will provide all of it…great fishing and spectacular scenery – both highlighted in this video.

Best Fishing: Caught 14 Alaska Steelhead in two days!

This video is all about the fishing. Filmed over a weekend near Sitka, AK which is located in Southeast Alaska, the video shows some great fly-fishing action with the focus on Steelhead (Rainbow Trout that migrate to the ocean). The video saws they caught 14 fish in 2 days…so, that makes for a both a solid weekend and video.

Most Unique: Denali Fly Fishing & Camping

This is a unique video and it's one of our favorite even though it's a slow pace and doesn't have a crazy soundtrack. A solo traveler documented his hiking, camping, and (of course) fishing around Denali National Park area off the Steese Highway. You can see the beauty that draws visitors to Denali for all the activities, nature & beauty in Denali National Park.

Best Overall: Alaska Fishing Drone & GoPro

A quick video that shows a lot of what is amazing about Alaska – it includes wildlife, nature, glaciers, and fishing for a variety of species. It's a two week trip in two minutes and leaves you wanting more – or your own trip like it.

Most Mouthwatering: Valdez Salmon Run

This drone video shows an insane volume of salmon near Valdez, AK in the Southcentral region of Alaska. Seen from overhead, it shows pink salmon returning in August and will get any anglers mouthwatering.

So, those are our favorite Alaska fishing videos from 2019. We hope to see plenty of more in 2020 – maybe one of our favorites next year will be from you!
