If you’re a steelhead fisherman, you know Alaska is one of the top sport angling destinations in the world. Not only is the steelhead fishing great, we all know about the salmon, halibut, and trout fishing opportunities as well. The vast landmass of Alaska is scattered with rivers, lakes and streams that offer unparalleled fishing.
- Difficulty: First time fly fisherman to very experienced single-hand and two-handed anglers will enjoy this trip. Swinging can be done effectively with a single-handed rod, although we do prefer to swing with switch rods using smaller sinking tips or weighted flies. To put fish in the net, nymph rigs are the preferred method.
- Fall Season: September 14 – November 1
- Species: Steelhead (of course!); Silver Salmon; Dolly Varden; and Rainbow Trout. *Although we practice catch and release for Steelhead, Dollies and Rainbows, many of our clients choose to keep the Silver Salmon they catch to be processed and shipped home.
- Add a day or two of Heli-Fishing to your trip!

This Fall steelhead fishing in Alaska trip is for any skill level and offers great indicator fishing and spey fishing. Anglers can expect to catch Steelhead and that is unheard of in the world of Steelhead fishing! Nothing makes me happier than booking a trip for guys and seeing the photos and the excitement and appreciation for what I love. Wild steelhead are an amazing fish that takes some skill and determination to catch. This place delivers every time!

I had another great time fishing in Alaska! I have fished and caught a few steelhead in Idaho and Washington but never have been able to fish for them in Alaska. I couldn’t believe how many steelhead are in those rivers!

If it wasn’t for Patrick here at OI knowing my fishing preferences, I wouldn’t have found this trip on my own. When I think of steelhead fishing I am really drawn to British Columbia as the Mecca but, not anymore.

Great fishing lodge! Matt and Rosie and all the staff were wonderful. Guides were good. Fishing was a bit spotty while I was there, but that happens with steelhead fishing.

I had never been to Alaska before, and it was one that I will never forget! I felt very comfortable before even arriving. I had plenty of details on every aspect of my Alaska fishing trip. Once there I had some of the most amazing fishing I’ve ever had in my entire life. The guides were just amazing every single one of them! I would sure love to do this trip again!

Second time on this trip for me and they made it even better. Enjoyed the steelhead fishing first and foremost. The outfitter goes the extra mile on accommodations and food! Love the guides and the core of this crew has been together for some time which speaks highly of the outfitter.
Really like the walk wading days, and of course… Heli-fishing. I love using a two-handed rod and chasing steelhead…….this is a great place to do both! Fuck those pussies in Canada!
