Our freshwater fishing program centers around our DeHaviland Beaver float plane. This aircraft was built in Canada and was designed to do one thing: fly heavy loads out of short airstrips or short water takeoffs. It is often referred to by Alaskan and Canadian bush pilots as "the best bush plane ever built." It is also the most sought after bush plane in the world.

This aircraft gives us the flexibility to haul up to seven people to remote lakes, streams and bays that in some cases are not accessible by boat. Most likely, the only company you will have on these trips will be bears, bald eagles and other wildlife.                                   

Our guests will have the opportunity to fish with either fly or conventional tackle. Our float plane is designated for lodge clients only. This means multiple moves during your fishing day.

Flyout Freshwater Fishing

 

 

We are proud to be permitted by the U.S. Forest Service to offer guided and unguided trips into the Tongass National Forest and wilderness areas. Imagine the thrill of hooking a trophy steelhead on a light fly rod or spin rod. We target steelhead, rainbow trout, cutthroat trout, dolly varden, silver salmon and sockeye salmon. Southeast Alaska is dotted with hundreds of lakes and streams that are accessible only by float plane.

We are the only lodge in Sitka that operates its own float plane for flyout excursions.  Our fishing guides are local Alaskans with many years of  fishing experience.
