Alaska Fly Fishing Trips

There are an uncountable number of remote Southeast Alaska streams, rivers, and bays rarely looked upon by human eyes. These are places where trout, Dolly Varden, and steelhead have gone about their business for millennia undisturbed, and lie in wait for anglers seeking the most incredible of Southeast Alaska fly fishing trips.

Dove Island Lodge is the only lodge in Sitka operating its own floatplane for guests seeking an opportunity for Southeast Alaska fly fishing unrivaled anywhere in the state. Our Alaska fly fishing trips are made possible by our DeHaviland Beaver floatplane, the most sought after bush plane in the world. Perfect for short-water takeoffs and short landing areas, it is referred to by Alaskan and Canadian pilots as the “best plane ever built.”

We can accommodate up to seven guests at a time on our Southeast Alaska fly fishing trips, going to places you thought could only exist in your imagination; pristine watersheds teeming with fish and surrounded by lush, ancient rainforest. These are places where humans seldom tread, a land full of bear, bald eagles, and other native wildlife.

The purity and the art of the sport are defined on our custom-tailored Southeast Alaska fly fishing trips. Because our fly fishing trips are only offered to lodge guests, multiple moves are possible in a single day of fishing. Anglers can thrill to fly fishing for cutthroat and rainbow trout in the morning, and then tangle with trophy steelhead in the afternoon.

While most clients prefer to use their own gear on our Southeast Alaska fly fishing trips, Dove Island Lodge has teamed up with Sage Fly Rods and Simms Waders to provide guests with the finest in fly fishing gear. Our local Southeast Alaska fly fishing guides are equipped with a love for the sport and an unsurpassed knowledge of Sitka’s more secluded waters.

We practice catch and release fishing on all of our Alaska fly fishing trips, ensuring the quality of the fishing remains healthy and the ongoing preservation of these perfect wilderness getaways.

We target salmon, rainbow trout, cutthroat trout, Dolly Varden char, and world-class steelhead on our Southeast Alaska fly fishing trips. Dove Island Lodge is proud to hold a current world record for steelhead, a lunker 36.5-pound hen caught in the fall of 2007 on a seven-weight fly fishing rod.

Join us at Dove Island Lodge for a fly fishing trip into the wild frontier of Southeast Alaska. Let us take you to places considered inaccessible for the fly fishing experience of a lifetime.
