Trip Taken: Steelhead Fishing in Alaska

I had another great time fishing in Alaska with OUTDOORS INTERNATIONAL!

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! One day while fishing with Benny I landed 6 or 7 steelhead, I’m not sure if we just got lucky or it is always this good! Benny really helped me with my spey casting and improved my cast so I am now more confident fishing a spey setup. We had so much fun together. He had an endless amount of silly jokes and made me feel comfortable right away, he was a great guide for me.

The cabins on the bluff are really cute, nice and clean inside.

They also have a dryer in the rooms to dry out any clothes if it rains, and you can adjust the thermostat which I did so it’s nice and toasty inside. The view is awesome as the cabins overlook the ocean and you can see the sunset behind the volcanoes. The food and company was also good. Hanging out around the outside fire with everyone and exchanging stories from the day was a highlight of the trip for me.

Second time I’ve done this particular trip. The steelhead run was awesome! The food was even better than the first time, which is hard to imagine, and our guide is the best there is! If catching big fish is your thing I highly recommend booking through Outdoors International.

I expected big trout on this trip based on all the stories I've read over the years, and I was not disappointed! I broke my own personal best rainbow trout record at least SIX times on this trip, with the biggest being a 16 pound beauty.

I will be going again soon!
