Enjoy one of Alaska’s favorite past times that only a remote destination can provide.  Fly or spin fishing, the beginner or experienced Angler will enjoy this wilderness setting, while fishing for some of the largest salmon this area has to offer. 
Fishing begins as early as the end of July and continuing through the latter part of September in the most beautifully landscaped area of Silver Salmon Creek. We offer quality sport fishing for Dolly Varden, Pink Salmon and a strong run of primarily World Class Silver Salmon from August through September waiting for you.

Three fish per person, per day.

Do you have both spin fishing and fly fishing?
Yes. We encourage guests to bring their own fishing gear and tackle; however, we do have traditional spinning rods available for guests to use and tackle for sale. Many guests enjoy fly fishing, but we request they bring their own gear.

We offer stream fishing; however, we will gladly arrange a Halibut charter from Silver Salmon Creek for an additional $150.00 per person, per trip, based on availability for you.
