Valdez is a popular vacation destination located in the Prince William Sound. Valdez is
regarded by some as the pink salmon capitol of the world. You can experience some
excellent freshwater and saltwater fishing to go along with the mountains and glaciers in
the background. The Chugach Mountains are a sight to see offering beautiful alpine
scenery and numerous wildlife.
Saltwater fishermen can catch king, coho, pink and chum salmon as well as rockfish,
lingcod and halibut. Most fishermen come here to experience the pink salmon fishing
because millions return to Port Valdez during even-numbered years.
Freshwater fishing is also available. Many anglers prefer catching salmon in the rivers
and streams. You can expect to catch pink and coho salmon with the occasional
sockeye salmon.
