Wild. Healthy. Off the Grid.
Our fisheries are as remote as they come—off the grid, off the road system, and often fished by just a handful of anglers each season. Each river has its own personality, from wide-open swing water to tight, technical creeks. But they all have one thing in common: they fish.
Remote Rivers. Wild Fish. Swing Water for Days
Fly Fishing in Alaska’s Last True Frontier
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.
Fish Where the Wild Things Are
Sandy River
Flowing off the southern flanks of the Alaska Peninsula and draining directly into the Bering Sea, the Sandy River is a medium-sized system with long gravel bars, wide tailouts, and textbook holding water for king salmon and steelhead. Easy to moderate wading, minimal brush, and boat-supported access make this river ideal for anglers looking for classic Alaska swing water—without having to bushwhack their way to it.
From mid-June through late July, the Sandy fills with chrome-bright king salmon fresh from the salt. These fish hold in soft seams and deep tailouts, giving anglers the chance to test their gear and their resolve. In the fall, beginning mid-September and running through late October, the river quietly transforms into a pristine steelhead fishery—clear water, rested runs, and strong, wild fish that reward patience and precision.
Sapsuk (Hoodoo) River
The Sapsuk River—also known as the Hoodoo—is a moderate-sized coastal river, where anglers can easily reach the opposite bank with a good cast. It meanders through open tundra with gentle bends, soft shoulders, and a blend of faster riffles and deep holding water. With a mix of walkable water and short jet boat runs, it offers easy access to a wide range of productive beats, and it fishes beautifully with both spey and single-hand rods.
King salmon enter the Sapsuk in mid-June and run strong through mid-July, often holding close to camp in clean, swingable water. By late August, silver salmon begin stacking in softer channels and along inside bends—eager, aggressive, and perfect targets for surface flies or stripped streamers. Come mid-September, fall steelhead arrive—bright, strong, and scattered through the upper beats. It’s a river that fishes consistently across the entire season and always holds something worth chasing.
Bering Sea Coastal Rivers
A classic example of the small tributaries that drain into the Bering Sea, Steelhead Creek is a narrow, clear-flowing stream that runs 20 to 35 feet wide, threading through low tundra and willow-lined cutbanks. It’s fully wade-only, with zero need for boats, offering intimate, technical water that invites a slower pace and deliberate approach. With soft seams, undercut edges, and deceptively deep pockets, this creek fishes like it was built for the swing.
From mid-September through late October, wild steelhead return in small numbers—but with serious power. These fish are aggressive, clean, and unpressured, and the setting only sharpens the experience. With just two anglers per week and a fully personalized program, Steelhead Creek is the purest form of fly fishing we offer—raw, personal, and unforgettable.

Anglers Are Saying
Sandy River Lodge is one of the most special places on earth to fish for Kings and Steelhead. The location is super remote but that means you get a fantastic 2 hour ride in a Pilatus PC-12 with one of the stellar pilots of Air Transit. They land on a small airstrip similar to an aircraft carrier. You are greeted by the best guide team in the business… More
