The rivers vary in clarity but the best water is clear. This is a portion of Montana Creek, one of the best streams north of Anchorage. These streams are spring feed. The glacier fed streams are coloured with alluvial silt.
I also fished Willow Creek and the Little Susitna. They are all accessable from the Parks Highway.
To fish the salmon, you need to be at the confluence of Montana Creek at the Mendenhall River. Try turning right at Yoder Road on the way to Talkeetna.

I have been advised to plan a fishing trip on the old Denali Rd, which runs south of the national park. The road surface is dirt but apparently it is well formed. The road crosses over many spring creeks where rainbows abode in high numbers. During spawning runs of salmon, rainbows can be found a few metres below the salmon. They feed on the salmon roe. It is no doubt best to sleep in a campervan (RV), rather than a tent, to be safe from wildlife. The best month to fish this water for rainbows is in July whereas the salmon run in mid August. King Salmon, however, start running in June.
Expect to have mild weather, but it can be very wet. 2010 had 31 consecutive days of rain!
This video clip is of spawning salmon at Ketchikan, Alaska. 2010 was a record year for spawning salmon. Fish numbers in the Fraser River were higher than they have ever been since 1913.

The popularity of fly fishing has been a hobby that a lot of people like it very much and it is growing day by day. Anyone can now participate in fly fishing sports irrespective of their abilities or other differences, which is why now there are so many fly fishing lovers.
