Alaska Stream Fishing

Alaska Steelhead Fishing

The best months for Steelhead fishing on the island are April and May, but a few fall-run fish can be found throughout the winter in some of the larger streams. The majority of steelhead runs on the island are small and number less than 200 returning adults annually. We also have native runs of Steelhead, Cutthroat Trout, and Dolly Vardon in the streams and lakes on the island.

Prince Of Wales Island has more than 85 documented streams that help to make our Alaska fishing lodge an angler's paradise. There are about 8 major river systems that you have access to by road but every little stream holds fish. There are over 1,600 miles of road giving access to much of the island's waterways. We offer guided steelhead trips though Renton River Adventures rentonriveradventures.com or un-guided fishing trips. We will do whatever it takes to make your Alaska fishing trip a memorable experience. Come join us for your next Alaska Steelhead fishing trip.

Coho Salmon

Prince of Wales has some incredible water to fish and a diversity of fish. Rivers and streams are divided into 2 different types, native runs and hatchery runs. The largest runs and biomass of fish by far are Pink Salmon. They provide the bulk of the nutrients that replenish the rainforest and all the fish animals that depend on them. Chum or Dog Salmon, Reds or Sockeye, and Silvers or Coho make up the rest of the runs. King Salmon do not spawn on the Island Rivers. (They are all around the Islands feeding before heading to their home waters to spawn) The Klawock River and Neck Lake have hatchery runs of Silvers that are the predominant species. Neck Lake has an early run and the Klawock has a late run of Silvers. We offer Room and Board, non guided River Fishing in September for those wanting to catch these amazing fish. Call us today for current room and board rates.
