If you are visiting Skagway this summer and want a guided fly fishing trip you have some good options. Fly Guides in nearby Haines Alaska has two different trips to choose from:
- Take a fly out trip from Skagway via small plane. You will land at rarely fished spots and fish for whatever species of salmon is running at the time as well as Dolly Varden char. These are very small group trips, generally 2 anglers and 1 guide, so check early for availability. Trips are offered from mid July through the end of summer.
- Take a quick fast ferry ride from Skagway to Haines where the Fly Guides will meet you and take you fishing on a river in Haines. They will use vehicles to access good local fishing. All gear is supplied. Half and full day trips are offered.
For more information contact the guides at www.hainesflyfishing.com.
Best of luck!
Hello! I wanted to reach out and see if it would be possible June of 2024 (Tuesday, June 18, 2024) if you have a trip for a group of 6 to go fly fishing. The group would consist of 3 couples, so the ferry and vehicles would be best. I want my friends to get a good taste of catching fish, so I think Dolly’s and if possible, Arctic Grayling would be our target fish. Two of the six fly fish and would have our own waders, so only four need waders.
We will be on a cruise ship and our scheduled arrival is 7:30 am and depart Skagway at 8:30pm, so a half day or 3/4 hybrid day would be great and give plenty of time to return to the ship.
I know this is early, but if this sounds like a possibility, I am ready to put up a deposit.
I love and fish Alaska every year for the past 11 years with the same family in Kodiak. This is the first time I a going on a cruise and want my wife and our friends to get a taste of Alaska fly fishing. This is why I want to target Dolly’s and if in the waters, Arctic Grayling instead of just Salmon. Here are a couple of videos I have of my past trips.

Thank you and hope we can schedule a trip!
Hi Kevin, you could try reaching out to Jared Markovich at SEAK Outfitters or Bear Creek Outfitters. SEAK uses a boat which may be small for a group of 6 and BCO uses float planes to access fishing. We do not offer any guiding through our fly shop. The other option would be Nick with Alaska Anglers Club. He offers shore based fly and spin fishing. Hopefully one of those three options works out for you. Cheers!
