Heading to Alaska

[Ranger_Bound]

First off its time to start open water fishing here in NY, but I can assume b/c of the dormancy of this site and ALASKA you are all still icefishing. I just wanted to stop in and gain some info on the fishing in Alaska. I will be flying out from Upstate NY to work out of Fairbanks for the summer (and potentially permanently). The first thing I will be buying is a fishing license and when the Kings start to run I will be buying a 3 day license. I was wondering what is your recommendations for someone who has never experienced the great state of Alaska.
