by Christopher Batin ©
One of Our National Best Sellers on Alaska Sportfishing and Hunting
"Such a book from some other authors I would have likely trashed. But from the Chris Batin, who lives, fishes, hunts, eats and sleeps in the Alaskan wilderness, you can bank on the soundness of the book. This book is a nuts and bolts, hard-core, no-nonsense guide to the cabins, the fishing found nearby, and detailed topographical maps of the regions...a reference book that offers an inexpensive passport to America's last great frontier on a budget." -- Bob McNally, Outdoor Editor, Florida Times-Union
A seven-day stay at a premier Alaska fishing lodge will cost over $4,800, a price beyond the financial reach of many anglers.
However, if you can row a boat, cook your own meals and handle cast-after-cast excitement for feisty, fresh-from-the-sea salmon, you can enjoy comparable Alaska sportfishing for only $35 a day.
This 352-page book provides you with:
- With this book you'll also learn where you can inexpensively hunt for moose, goat, brown and black bear, wolf and Sitka blacktail deer, as well as waterfowl. You'll have the comforts of a wilderness cabin to enjoy at the end of a successful day's hunt.

Reviews and Testimonials
"Chris Batin really has something here.
This is a handy manual and a must-have item
for anyone who wants to explore Alaska. Even
more important, it's written by a professional
who lives there and knows first-hand what
he's writing about."
Paul Jukes
Outdoor Editor, The Valley Voice
"Chris Batin, probably Alaska's most outstanding outdoor communicator, has written and compiled a 350-page guidebook chock full of fish, locations, maps and all necessary how-to facts to do Alaska inexpensively. It's very detailed."

"If you've dreamed about an Alaska adventure, but can't afford the $2,000 to $4,000 price tag for most outfitted trips, this book is the answer."
Tom Fegely, Allentown Morning Call

"Fishing Alaska on Dollars a Day ...targets some prize fishing opportunities in the national forests of southeast Alaska, and might come as a rude awakening to someone who's just paid $3,000 for a week at an Alaska fishing lodge."
Field and Stream magazine
"Fishing Alaska is much more than a cabin listing. The chapters on where you'll find the fish and recommended tackle and methods are alone worth the price. Outdoor Equipment Review recommends this book for sportsmen and families looking for affordable Alaskan adventure. Even those who fish Alaska at full-service-lodge fare will find the book informative. So will boat, raft and kayak travelers, since many of the cabin sites are coastal."
Outdoor Equipment Review
"Thanks for your recommendation. This great trip, like so many other successful ones we've had these past few years, has come from the reliable ideas and information we have received and personal confidence we have gained from reading your books (Fishing Alaska on Dollars a Day). So thanks again from all of us for a key that opens the door to the affordable Alaska fishing experiences of a lifetime."
Steve and Peggy Haines, Eureka, CA
"Even angling cognoscente have a tough time
finding their way around the vast Chugach and
Tongass National Forests. Alaska angling maven
Chris Batin has solved the problem with this
truly indispensable guide for those who want to
go it on their own."
Alaskana magazine
"In Fishing Alaska on Dollars a Day, you can
find out everything you need to know in one,
compact publication. Chris Batin walks you
through the entire process, how to reserve a
cabin, what to bring, how to get the most of
your boat and how to catch each sportfish
Species."
Bob Mottram, Outdoor Editor
Tacoma Morning News Tribune
"
The book is much more than a listing of cabins. The chapters pointing out where to find fish and what tackle and methods to use are alone worth its price. Batin also includes equipment suggestions, and a checklist, straight talk on drinking water, insects and more. We recommend Fishing Alaska on Dollars a Day"
Tackle Test magazine
"Worth a gander if you are planning an Alaska fishing trip. Alaska's national forests are the secret to fishing the state cheaply. An angling book that gets us there with cash to spare."
