In this Into the Outdoors episode, discover the art of fly fishing and how this activity can be enjoyed at any stage of life. We follow the story of a young kid, his dad and grandpa as they venture into America’s Last Frontier — the Alaskan wilderness. Together, on the banks of a river in the Tongass National Forest, they use one of the oldest methods of fishing to catch an astounding thirty fish, everything from cutthroat trout to silver salmon. Between casts, you’ll learn about ecosystem science, aquatic biology and history while getting a firsthand look at the wildlife wonders in our nation’s largest National Forest. So what are you waiting for? Dive into this fly fishing adventure!
