FULLY
GUIDED
HALIBUT, SALMON, TROUT & STEELHEAD FISHING
South Kodiak Adventures would be happy to provide you and your
party a once in a lifetime fishing trip on the Island of Kodiak,
Alaska. Our base of operations is located in the very small village
of
Akhiok, on the most remote part of the Island, the Southern tip. The South
end of Kodiak Island has over 100 miles of protected waters, 15 salmon rivers
and 2 large lakes plus many small ones. We are
fortunate in having one of the few KODIAK NATIONAL WILDLIFE REFUGE land use permits
for sportfishing on the National Wildlife
Refuge lands.
We provide lodging and meals in Akhiok with daily guided fishing aboard
our 33 foot aluminum cabin cruiser. Halibut fishing
is done from the boat in the salt water, while other fishing for steelhead,
rainbows, and silver and red salmon is done from shore along the many
rivers coming into the bays of Kodiak Island. All of our trips are customized
to suit the small number of people ( only 6 ) which we take at any one
time. Accordingly, our fishing trips can be combined with any of the
wildlife viewing tours which we offer at the same price. Dungeness and
Tanner crab pots can be put out if you
get a sport fishing license.
As
an option, you can start out your week fishing for halibut in one of
the local bays, then switch to stream fishing for sockeye salmon and
rainbow trout the next day, followed by whatever your heart chooses.
Fishing Season
Our
fishing season starts May 15th of each year and runs into September.
Although our standard fishing trip is 7 days and 7 nights, other lengths
can be arranged depending on scheduling. Just give us a call. We fish
the Southern part of Kodiak including Olga Bay and Deadman's Bay. Available
species include halibut, king salmon, sockeye salmon, silver salmon,
chum salmon, humpy salmon, rainbow trout, dolly varden, and steelhead.

The
silver salmon or coho is thought by many to be the most outstanding
fighter of the salmon species, although sockeyes or reds are a close
second. These super-charged silver salmon explode out of the water and
make reel-screaming runs up and down the stream. When caught in salt
water they often strip all the line on the spool. We have access to
dozens of silver and red salmon streams, bays and coves. Depending upon
conditions, we fish from our boat, stream banks, gravel bars, or even
wading in salt water. We access these hot spots in our 33 ft cabin cruiser
that get us to secluded sites quickly and safely. We often fish wilderness
sites without human competition. The best silver fishing is in August
and September but we often catch silvers and kings by trolling in salt
water in June and July. Sockeyes or reds come into our streams all Summer
long and into September. We cater to both fly fishermen and spin fishermen
with references
available upon request.
