Nome Creek is a public river in Unorganized County, Alaska, managed by Alaska Department of Fish and Game. You can fish it on an Alaska sport fishing licence — plus a King Salmon Stamp to fish for kings. Navigable water in Alaska is public below the ordinary high-water line. Bag, size and gear rules are set area by area and change in-season by Emergency Order: bait is prohibited on many streams, single unbaited hooks are required during king seasons in much of Southcentral, several king fisheries (the Kenai especially) have closed entirely in recent years, and wild rainbow trout are release-only on many rivers.
Alaska's lakes and rivers typically hold one or more species of Pacific salmon (Chinook, sockeye, coho, pink or chum), along with rainbow trout, cutthroat trout and Dolly Varden char -- species commonly documented across the state's public waters by the Alaska Department of Fish and Game.
It runs roughly 31 miles through the Interior Alaska region. The nearest other mapped waters on PiscaMaps are Beaver and Nome Creeks and Chatanika River.

Anyone 18 or older needs an Alaska sport fishing licence — the resident annual is about $30; non-residents choose a 1-day (~$25), 3-day (~$45), 7-day (~$70), 14-day (~$105) or annual (~$145) licence. To fish for king (Chinook) salmon you also need a King Salmon Stamp — about $15 resident annual, or $15/$30/$45/$75 non-resident by duration ($100 non-resident annual). Anglers under 18 fish free (resident and non-resident), and Alaska residents 60 and older fish on a free permanent ID card. Buy from ADF&G at adfg.alaska.gov. An Alaska sport fishing licence covers this water (plus a King Salmon Stamp to fish for kings) — it is on ADF&G's GoFishAK sport-fishing list.
