What You Will Visit:
Game Creek
Experience exceptional angling in a spectacular setting at Game Creek, located near the town of Hoonah. A prime spot for freshwater stream fishing, the sparkling, crystalline waters teem with fish and offer both experienced and novice fishermen alike an opportunity to don hip boots and all the gear needed to spin cast, or fly-fish for those with experience, along the banks in a quintessentially beautiful Alaskan setting. The fish vary seasonally, but you can expect to catch Dolly Varden and cutthroat trout all season long. Steelhead are available in May and early June. Pink salmon run from late June through September, and silver salmon from late August through September. This is a catch and release program to conserve the area's natural resources.
