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 work well at this time. The
Steelhead return to the ocean in late May and are
usually gone by the first week in June. Steelhead fishing
is difficult and requires skill and experience. The dolly
varden, rainbow trout, and cutthroat trout surrounding
the steelhead are often easier to catch.

Fly fishing in June 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 water when hooked. Coho
and steelhead are considered a prize fish among fly
fishermen. Pink, Chum, Sockeye, and Kings show up in 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.
