Fly Guides - Haines, Alaska

There are plenty of spots around Haines and even in Skagway to fly fish. The Hatchery in Skagway releases thousands of King Salmon Smolt each year, and as those fish grow, they return to the local bays where you can fly fish for them as they prepare to head upstream to spawn. The local rivers offer outstanding fishing for all King Salmon and Silver Salmon as well as fat Cutthroat Trout and Dolly Varden. In the Spring and Fall, the Steelhead fishing is excellent, as is the opportunity to target the big Dolly Varden.

Fly Guides provides everything you need to fly fish, including quality waders, top fly rods, hand-tied flies, and they include professional instruction as they share their love of fly fishing with you. They offer half-day and full-day fishing trips around the local area. One of the best things about fishing here is that there are a lot of DIY fishing opportunities. Once you learn how to fly fish, nothing is stopping you from fishing in the local area. They offer single fisher trips, and small group excursions and their personalized service fit both types of groups.

Overall, expect high-quality guided fishing, and quality, easy to learn fishing lessons on some of the coolest rivers in the area. The fishing in Haines and Skagway is reasonably straightforward, and you have access to big fish too.
