Excursion Remote alaska fly fishing tour at Sitka

Experience the thrill of fly-fishing on remote southeast Alaskan rivers during this relaxing, full-day fishing excursion to the Tongass National Forest.

Depart the pier for a short drive to the fly-fishing shop where you will purchase your Alaska Sport Fishing License, receive your safety and tour instructions and fishing gear. Afterward, embark your awaiting, aluminum runabout boat, which was custom-built to ensure easy access to the shoreline and a fast, comfortable ride. After 30 minutes boat ride, get ashore then proceed to a remote river on the Tongass National Forest which almost no one else fishes. Depending upon the rivers with the best fishing for species that are in season, your guide decides which river is best to fish that day.

Fly-Fishing and Lunch

Upon arrival at the river selected, begin your approximately four-hour fly-fishing session. These excursions typically target steelhead, salmon, trout and char, depending on what is running, and there are always dollies available when there are salmon in the rivers. This fishing trip includes all wading and fishing gear, snacks, beverages, and lunch served onshore. All fishing is catch-and-release only. At the conclusion of your fishing excursion, re-board the boat for the approximately 30 min ride back to town, return your gear and return back to the pier.
