Southeast Alaska Fishing At Its Finest

Whether testing your endurance fighting a tireless halibut or thrilling to the lightning-fast run of a trophy king salmon, Southeast Alaska fishing earns it reputation as some of the finest in the world. Angling opportunities abound in the fresh and saltwater surrounding Fireweed Lodge. Our local experience and love of the sport of fishing makes it possible for our guests to enjoy the Alaska fishing experience of a lifetime. The majority of all salmon runs retuning to the coastal streams and rivers of Canada and Alaska either mature in, or pass by, our famous Southeast Alaska fishing grounds. We are proud to offer clients phenomenal fishing for halibut, rockfish, lingcod, steelhead, trout, and all five species of salmon.

Fishing for Southeast Steelhead & Trout

April is the best month for targeting steelhead in Southeast Alaska. Steelhead are recognized as a true test for any angler on both fly and conventional gear. The freshwater streams surrounding the lodge are filled with hungry trout all year, and many are accessible by road. It is possible to target trout on multiple Alaska fishing streams in a single day of fishing!

Alaska Trophy King Salmon

King salmon are the largest of all the salmon and their long, fast runs put drags through their paces, and bring a smile to the face. Peak season for kings occurs from late May through July, but kings are caught year round at our location in Southeast Alaska.

Southeast Silver (Coho) Salmon

Silvers do not grow as large as kings, but what they lack in size they make up for with daring runs, ferocious tail dances, and thrashing leaps. Maturing fish can be caught with regularity in saltwater from late June through August, and spawning fish can be targeted in freshwater from September through October.

Fishing for Rockfish in Southeast Alaska

Rockfish are one the finest tasting fish in all of Southeast Alaska, and are abundant in our waters throughout the season. Spin casting with light tackle for black bass and yelloweye rockfish is a thrill for any angler, and even bigger thrill on the dinner table.

Southeast Alaska Halibut Fishing

Our fishery for halibut in Southeast Alaska is so reliable and consistent; they are often caught by accident when targeting other fish. The fine white flesh of halibut can be prepared in a myriad different ways, making them one of the most versatile game fish when it comes to preparation. Barn doors weighing over 100-pounds put back muscles to the test and anglers are often surprised by their long, driving runs.
