Fishing & Guided Activities
Aleutian Rivers Angling currently focuses on two main rivers: The Steelhead River and The Sapuk River. Both rivers offer a variety of fishing possibilities and depending on the time of the year, the rivers will be packed with King, Silver, Red Salmon, Steelhead, or Rainbow Trout.
Alaskan King Salmon
From mid-June until mid-July, the Sapsuk River is home to an array of King Salmon. These chrome fish are up to 40 pounds that take a fly, test your tackle, and keep you coming for more. Exclusive access to multiple destinations and the fact that Aleutian Rivers Angling only fish six people ensures that there is plenty of un-pressured fish eager to take the fly. The river is easily wadable and provies the opportunity to fish with either single handed, or two handed rods.
Grand Slam Season
Many people travel to Alaska looking for the 'Salmon Grand Slam'. The Sapuk River is one of the very few places where this can happen. From July - August, all five species of Pacific Salmon can be caught on the fly.
Alaskan Silver Salmon
From early August to mid-October, The Sapsuk River is home to one of Alaska's healthiest runs of Silver Salmon. Their guests average around 10-25 Silver Salmon per day with the average Silvers being 8-10 pounds, topping out at 15-18 pounds.
Alaskan Steelhead
From late September to mid-October, Aleutian Rivers Angling's Steelhead fishing is still exploratory at their Steelhead Camp. A fisherman can expect to catch 1-2 Steelheads. These hard fighting fish are averaging 30 inches and will rip line off your reel every time. Due to the nature and style of this fishing, Aleutian Rivers Angling only accepts 2-3 anglers per week.
