Fall in Alaska

Some of the best Alaska fly-fishing can be enjoyed during the early fall months. September and October can spectacular for silver salmon and rainbow trout. And in some locations the latter part of October can be magical with steelhead. The remote tidal creeks of the Alaska Peninsula and Kodiak Island can be teeming with late arriving cohos, some of the finest you will find in the state, and some of the best fly fishing you will ever experience. The Lost Coast anchored by the town of Cordova not only yields some of the largest silvers of the Northland but also has a wonderful steelhead fishery. If rainbows are your cup of tea the Iliamna region of Bristol Bay can be magnificent. Byt the Katmai region is a personal favorite.
