The Fishing
As the seasons change, so does the Alaskan fly fishing experience. Different times of the year present unique opportunities to catch different species.
In the spring, anglers eagerly await the return of steelhead, one of the most prized catches worldwide. Making this experience even more special is the fact that all of the steelhead are wild. We offer both single-day trips and multi-day liveaboard trips to cater to different preferences.
Next up are the salmon, with opportunities to catch various types including king, sockeye, pink, chum, and silver (coho) salmon. Additionally, anglers can target sea-run cutthroat and dolly varden, adding to the diversity of the species list.
Our Trips
Half or Full Day Trips
Our fly fishing trips range from half-day to full-day, taking place in various rivers throughout The Tongass. Depending on the season and fishing conditions, we may provide transportation via truck or boat to reach the rivers. For those looking for a unique experience, we also offer fly-out trips via float plane. If you're interested in combining a thrilling plane ride with a full or half day of fishing, please let us know and we'll arrange it for you!
