World Class Fishing in Yakutat, Alaska

Yakutat has one of the healthiest fisheries in all of Southeast Alaska! It provides the perfect blend of fresh and salt water with a variety of trout, salmon, halibut, rockfish, ling cod, and more!

Salt and Fresh Water Fishing

Fishing in the Situk river is an experience that everyone should experience at least once in their life. Our guides will put you on any one of the five species of salmon throughout the summer as well as steelhead in the spring. Along the way you'll have a good chance of spotting bears, moose, otters and more!

The saltwater highlights include massive halibut, lingcod, and rockfish. The regulations change annually but we’ll make sure you’re up to date before you go out!

Fresh Water Fishing

Freshwater fishing in Yakutat is particularly special because of the Situk River. The Situk River is famous for hosting Alaska’s largest wild steelhead trout population but it also has a very healthy sockeye and coho population. Our guests can enjoy a 14 mile guided drift boat ride down the Situk and truly be surrounded by Alaska’s rugged nature as well as have the fishing adventure of a lifetime.

Saltwater Fishing

Primarily we target Halibut, and that's because the fishery is SO healthy! We have a fish weight average that is about 3 times the state’s average. We fish from 30 feet to 300 feet and catch halibut of all sizes at those depths. A lot of it will be in 100 feet or less. While hunting halibut, we’ll catch Ling Cod, and a variety of Rockfish; to give you a true taste of Alaska.
