The Glacier Bay-Icy Strait area is one of the world's best fly-fishing destination secrets. This region offers blue ribbon freshwater angling in various tidal and mountain settings interwoven in a tapestry of remote islands that share no road connection with the remainder of the state. With salmon, Dolly Varden, wild steelhead and cutthroat trout, Southeast Alaska is a premier fly-fishing destination that is second to none.

Our fly-fishing instructors are experienced wilderness guides and competent, enthusiastic teachers. All fly-fishing packages are custom tailored and designed for anglers based on their individual skill level. This allows the opportunity to fish a variety of different water types and species and enjoy unparalleled success.

Local rivers and streams are accessible by plane or by boat. Chances are you won't see another person for the rest of the day, other than those in your group.

Species Overview

Our mid-May spring fishery focuses on Dolly Varden, cutthroat trout, and a few late steelhead. There are not many rainbows, and no king salmon are targeted in fresh water. July brings waves of pink salmon that number in the tens of thousands, and that is for one bay or inlet! Sockeye, or red salmon, are sprinkled throughout the system. Mid-August marks the arrival of silver salmon and good fishing for resident cutthroat and rainbow trout and Dolly Varden char.
