Fly In Chuitna River River Fishing Trips
For nearly three decades we have been offering fly in fishing trips to the Chuitna River. This was once a premier king salmon fishery and ideal for those looking for large king salmon in a relatively small and clear coastal river. The Chuitna holds some very magical fish and although the river has been completely closed for king fishing since 2011, it does host a prolific silver return in the fall. Our silver salmon trips begin on the Chuitna in late July and extend into the first week of September.
Chuitna River Fishing Trip Information:
• This is a walk and wade guided fishing trip. While we do provide hip boots on all our fly out trips, the Chuitna does require chest waders to fish effectively. We recommend supplying your own chest waders but can make arrangements to bring a limited number if needed.
• Your guide will provide spinning tackle and all the bait and lures. If you are wanting to fly fish we recommend bringing your own rod with a floating line and a good variety of flies. We can bring a limited number of fly rods and flies as well upon request.
• All arrangements for transportation provided by the Tyonek Native Village will be made prior to the trip and all fees are included in the trip price.
Guests who enjoy this trip also enjoy our fly-in salmon and trout fishing to Crescent lake and fly out fishing to Bachatna Creek.
