Many people book a fishing vacation in Alaska with saltwater fishing in mind, but that’s not all that the state has to offer. Alaska is also home to some of the most impressive freshwater fishing on all of planet earth. Thanks to the unique geography and massive wild salmon populations, the area that surrounds Pybus Point Lodge is a fly fisherman’s dream.
During your stay at our all-inclusive resort, you can enjoy an unforgettable freshwater fishing experience deep in the heart of the Alaska wilderness. For no added fee, our freshwater guide will take you out for an unbeatable adventure on the river with a fly rod or spin-caster.
In addition to having your own full time saltwater guide, your all-inclusive vacation package includes full access to our experienced freshwater guide. Whenever you feel like exploring the local rivers, let us know and we’ll arrange a freshwater fishing excursion for you and your party.
No matter your skill level, your guide will be there to help you out. Whether you’re a first time fisherman wanting to learn the basics of fly fishing or you’re a seasoned angler looking to have a bucket list Alaska fishing experience, your guide will have all the hard earned skills and knowledge to make your trip a success.
Aside from being an expert fisherman, your guide is also a trained brown bear expert and will be there to ensure your safety while traveling through the remote bush.
Pybus Point Lodge is located in the Tongass National Rainforest. Thanks to the heavy rain and snowfall that we get in our area of Alaska, there are multiple excellent freshwater rivers and streams close by the lodge. Depending on the time of year you visit our resort, these waterways are also full of spawning salmon.
While out exploring the rivers and streams that surround Pybus Point Lodge you can expect to see a variety of different salmon species. Alaska is home to five species of salmon, four of which can be found in the streams of Admiralty Island: pink, silver, keta, and king salmon as well as Dolly Varden Trout. If you’re wanting to target a specific species of salmon, check out this chart before planning your Alaska fishing vacation.
Some of our favorite spots to fly fish are located just a short distance from the lodge. The back of our very own Pybus Bay has an incredible stream where multiple species of salmon spawn throughout the summer. This is a great spot for beginner fishermen to learn how to fly fish since the area is clear of any obstructions that might make casting difficult. It’s also a great spot because the water is shallow and it’s usually easy to see the fish swimming beneath the surface.
If you’re an intermediate or expert fly fisherman, we’ll take you a little further into the wilderness for a more in depth freshwater experience. You can fish a variety of pools and rivers that offer a little more of a challenge–and reward. These areas are extremely remote and offer guests a spectacular opportunity to experience the Alaskan bush. They’re also great for potentially bear viewing opportunities–humans aren’t the only animals that like to fish these rivers! Just keep in mind that the water can get fairly deep, and the terrain can be difficult to cross. Because of this, we only recommend these more remote locations to guests who are up for an adventure.
Like always, everything you need to have a good time is free for you to use at our all-inclusive resort. Whenever you’re ready to fish we’ll provide you with waders, rain gear, fly rods, spinner rods, reels, flies, tackle, boots, and all the other gear you’ll need. The only thing you need to bring is your Alaska fishing license, we’ll handle the rest!
