Bike-Fishing Alaska's Crescent Lake

In the Anchorage Daily News, Ken Marsh gives advice on biking to and fishing remote waters like Crescent Lake in Chugach National Forest. “My fishing tackle included a four-piece, five-weight Sage fly rod; reel with floating line; a couple of fly boxes containing a selection of my favorite lake streamers (marabou Lake Leeches, small Woolly Buggers and sparsely tied Muddler Minnows); and an assortment of dry-flies and tippet material. Beyond that, I carried a compact bicycle tire pump; first-aid kit; lighter; a basic bicycle repair kit; food; bear spray; bug dope and a light jacket.”
