A Typical View of Ship Creek
Here is a typical scene of people fishing Ship Creek near downtown
Anchorage; crowds, bridges, and mud. Of course
this is very uncrowded for Ship Creek standards. During the height
of runs, and on good tides, this section of Ship Creek would be
shoulder to shoulder fisherman. Ship creek is the third most popular
fishing destination in Alaska after the Kenai and Russian Rivers,
averaging over 60,000 fishering days of pressure
each year.
As for bridges, Ship Creek is crossed and re-crossed with rail,
road, highway and pedestrian bridges in it's short fishable stretch.
It is not pristine, but it can definitely be productive during the
runs. Don't make Ship Creek an end destination, but think about
using it to squeeze in some more casts.
