Sitka freshwater in town is very low. Indian has dollies and a rare steelie. The first 100 yds below the small ‘dam’ is a fun spot for dollies. Spring dollies in the salt is a blast. . We had a spot on hpr we liked fishing in the salt close to the sea mart .
Steelies are fly out. Sitkoh is or was a pretty sweet steelie fisherie. Its up in hoona sound, chatham side on chichagof Theres a cabin. But you teally need to venture up river. Its not the situk numbers wise but it has been good. That said numbers are dropping.
Theres fish out by the old sawmill. I was told steelies, but never turned or stuck one
Theres some sweet saltwater sight fishing kings in the back of sawmill. When i was done skippering (or had the rare day off) i would go back and have some fun on the 10wt. Destroyed a system 2 10/11 one summer lots of fun!!!
You can have a serious good time fly rodding black rockfish. They taste good fried up as well!
I would prepare for saltwater!!!!
Oh there is blue sharks in august! They will eagerly eat a fly!!!! Or anything else haha! You'll have to get off the cape (edgcumb or pt amelia were good as was behind biorka) for them though. If u go for halibut try and chum a shark in. There is salmon sharks as well. Youll want a lot more than a 10wt lol. Heck i dont know if a salmon shark would take a fly or not. They do like stinky pinkies haha. Theres nothing in this state that pulls like a salmon shark (other than maybe a humpback)!!!! I caught them on halibut sticks.
I was just looking at charter pics a few nights ago. Dang those were good days!!
If you ever get the chance to fish cape omni or run to port alexander. Jump all over it. The cape is an amazing fishery! Its where chatham dumps into the ocean. Watch the tides, she moves bigtime here. But fish are shallow and biiiiiig!!
The farlons? are another must do. Look at the islands west of coronation island. Its way out there. But the fishings unreal!!!! I spent a summer guiding in port alexander. Absolutely amazing in every way!!!!
