Enjoy a fly fishing trip in a scenic area that feels secluded even though it is close to town, meaning less travel time and more time on the river. This trip is perfect for everyone – even beginners – wanting to get out in the water for some fly-fishing without minimal fuss.
Gear up with waders, boots, rod, reel and tools. Your guide will set up an appropriately-sized rod for the fish that are running and will provide you with the best flies for catching them.
Sitka-area rivers are small, gravel-bottom rivers with nice features and pools in which to fish. Species vary by time of year, but Dolly Varden and pink salmon are most common. The early season may present opportunities for steelhead and rainbow trout.
All fishing is on a catch-and-release basis on this enjoyable, all-inclusive, no-hassle, easy-wade fly-fishing experience.
Please note: Minimum age is 12 years. Dress warmly in layered clothing with gloves, a scarf, and a hat; outer layer should be windproof and waterproof.
