Alaska Peninsula

Fishing in Alaska’s Last True Frontier

Remote Rivers. Wild Fish. Swing Water for Days.

This isn’t just fishing—it’s what Alaska fly fishing was before crowds, pressure, and broken water. Aleutian Adventures puts you on remote, unpressured rivers filled with wild king salmon, silver salmon, and steelhead. Whether you’re stepping into the Sandy, the Sapsuk, or the quiet flow of Steelhead Creek, our fisheries are built for the swing—and for anglers who live for it.

Short runs. Big fish. Real wilderness. Welcome to fly fishing as it should be.

Your Aleutian Basecamp

King Salmon (Chinook)

The biggest of the Pacific salmon, kings hit like freight trains and run deep. They’re the ultimate challenge on the swing—strong, unpredictable, and absolutely unforgettable. Found in both the Sandy and Sapsuk rivers from mid-June through July.

Silver Salmon (Coho)

Aggressive, acrobatic, and willing to smash a fly, silvers are pure fun on a fly rod. Target them in late summer and early fall, when they flood the Sapsuk and Sandy Rivers, eager to chase streamers and pop surface flies. Peak season runs late August through September.

Steelhead Salmon

These sea-run rainbows return chrome-bright and full of energy. Swinging for steelhead in remote waters like the Sandy, Sapsuk, and Steelhead Creek is about more than numbers—it’s about the take, the fight, and the silence just before the grab. Best fished mid-September through October.

Seasons

Short Seasons. Long Days. Big Returns.

Choosing the right week is part of the adventure. Each season brings something different—from powerful early kings to aggressive late-summer silvers and technical fall steelhead. Regardless of the season, we build our fishing programs around the weeks that matter most.

King Salmon Season – Mid-June through July

Bright kings push into the Sandy and Sapsuk rivers, fresh from the ocean and ready to fight. Days are long. Fish are hot. It's the ultimate swing test.

Silver Salmon Season – Late August through September

Aggressive, hard-hitting cohos fill the rivers and take flies willingly. Action is consistent, and conditions are perfect for both beginners and experienced spey casters.

Steelhead Season – Mid-September through October

The most technical and rewarding time of the year. Water is clear, pressure is nonexistent, and the steelhead are in. A time for slow swings, soft landings, and big payoffs.

Anglers Are Saying

I had the pleasure of fishing Aleutian Adventures’ Sapsuk and Sandy River camps in October of 2024 for steelhead. While I’ve been to both camps before, it was so much fun to fish the last week of the season in both camps! Both programs are organized and dialed in to make remote wilderness accessible and comfortable while retaining the wild character. Great rivers, great guides, and great cooks (fresh tundra berries every morning hand-picked by Aubrey and don’t get me started on her deserts). At four Sapsuk and six Sandy anglers and the abundance of angry steelhead, these systems are world class. Thank you Kyle and Ryan – see you in 2025!
