I’m scheduled with flights, lodging and charter boat reservations for late July fishing in Yakutat,Alaska. I would appreciate any and all fishing reports between now and then whether on the Situk River or on the saltwater. Thanks!

Tim, it might be early for Situk silvers and there may not be a king fishery?
Halibut, ling cod and black rock fish likely your best bet.
You might check with Hans and Tanya at Coastal Air for a day fly out to a more rural river where there could be better salmon opportunities…..Italio, Akwe, etc?
I have been going up for 25 years, mainly in September for Fall silvers and now June for the halibut and ling cod.

You may be able to FIS reds on the Situk, but study technique as it is a very unique, called “flossing”

As you get closer to your trip, register to receive Alaska Fish and Game e-letter then comes out weekly on Yukatat fishery status, what and where fishing is hot and not.
Also considering getting license on line to avoid the lines.
