Re: Fishing Alaska transpot back to lower 48
We been bringing fish back from Alaska every year from 2001 until present. I mostly fish the Kenai area, both salmon and halibut. Normally you can have two times the daily limit in your possession until it's in a state of permanent preservation. Fish in a cooler on ice count as in possession. Frozen vacuumed pack fish in a cooler do not count but must remain frozen. I would not think once you get out of Alaska it would be a problem regulation wise. We used to bring out fish on dry ice from Anchorage to California in a cooler, and did it in six days and kept the fish frozen ok with only the dry ice I put with it in Alaska. Two years ago the Alaska Fish and Game wanted to know how much fish I had in my freezer (freezer in pickup behind motor home) I said about a thousand pounds, he said ok. They were looking for much larger amounts being smuggled out of the Yukon River System. If you don't have a freezer handy there are plenty of packing houses in the Kenai and Homer area that can pack and freeze for you. I have never had anyone in Canada ask about fish. Good luck, catch lots Larry528Views0likes0Comments
