Here's a next-level fly-fishing experience on a remote Sitka river accessed by a custom-built aluminum runabout boat. This mode of transportation is a fast, comfortable ride that ensures easy access to the riverbank.
Depending upon what river your guide decides is best to fish on the day, you will arrive at your fishing destination for a sensory and immersive experience in time to hike, wade, explore and fish on this six-hour excursion.
You'll fish for species that are in season -- steelhead, salmon, trout, and char could be running. Dolly Varden are also available when there are salmon in the rivers.
This is an exhilarating time amid the untamed wilderness of the Last Frontier. All wading and fishing gear is provided, along with snacks, beverages and a shoreside lunch.
Return to the ship with brilliant fish tales to share.
