Fly out fly fishing trips vary in price based on flight time to the
destination and guide time. Destinations are determined based on the
species that the fly fishermen wish to target. Steelhead are the first sea
run salmonoids to reach the river systems, arriving in April. Spawning
pairs often attract rainbows, dolly varden and Cutthroat. Egg patterns
and are usually gone by the first week in June. Steelhead fishing is
difficult and requires skill and a great amount of patience. The dolly
varden, rainbow trout, and cutthroat trout surrounding the steelhead
are often easier to catch.

Fly fishing from June through October is an excellent time to fish for rainbow and cutthroat trout. Fly out
trips are recommended. Accessing remote lakes and streams by float plane provides for a true Alaska
experience. The destinations are scenic and packed with trout. Fly fishing for trout requires basic casting
ability. The trout take dry flies and nymphs.

There are a series of river systems in Southeast Alaska that offer an early run of Coho salmon. They begin to appear in early July. Our
guides take fly fishermen to estuaries when targeting these fish. Coho are extremely lively fish and often jump several feet out of the
late July and are fishable until late August. Large Dolly varden follow the salmon into the river systems, feeding on the eggs, offering
fly fishermen a memorable experience. A late run of Coho begins in September and goes through October. The fish that come in
during this run are typically larger than those that come in during the early run. September and October is a good time to travel to
Ketchikan for a fly fishing trip.
