At nearly 17 million acres, the Tongass National Forest in Southeast Alaska is the country’s largest national forest. The Tongass includes more than 15,700 miles of clean, undammed streams and 4,100 lakes and ponds that provide optimal spawning and rearing conditions for the region’s abundant wild steelhead and salmon. Steelhead are “officially” found in over 300 Tongass streams, according to the Alaska Department of Fish and Game's (ADF&G) Anadromous Waters Catalog (AWC). Learn more about what Trout Unlimited Alaska is doing to help add more streams to the AWC and protect threatened steelhead & salmon populations by watching their film Anadromous Waters featuring local fly fishing guide and fisheries advocate, Mark Heironymus.
