Ketchikan Fly Out Fishing Tour
Come bend a fly or spin rod in the wilds of Southeast Alaska
Beautiful small streams and gorgeous lakes with lots of trout, salmon, steelhead, and very few other fishermen await you. It is not uncommon to go fishing here and not see another group on the same body of water. Enjoy the tranquility and serenity that comes from being out in nature and trying your beginner or practiced hand at fly fishing.
We provide flies or lures, equipment, and transportation. You don't know how to fly fish but have always wanted to learn? We can provide a guide who will give one-on-one instruction in the beautiful Alaskan wilderness. Your plane carries up to five passengers and the total time for this tour is approximately 5 hours with 4 hours of it fishing.
Flight times will be determined by fishing location and weather conditions so your time in the skies could be anywhere from 30-75 minutes. Enjoy a window seat and narration by your local pilot for the ultimate Southeast Alaskan excursion.
