Sitka Guided Fly Fishing

Description

Be sure to read the Special Notes further down this page for important requirements and restriction.

Get hooked on fly fishing with a four-hour excursion that's ideal for beginners, as well as seasoned pros. Your adventure begins with a trip to the fly shop where you'll get all your necessary gear such as waders, boots, rod, reel and bait called flies. After a safety briefing and instructions in how to use the provided equipment, you're ready to board the vehicle that will take you to a secluded spot on the river. With your experienced fishing guide by your side, you'll learn the secrets to catching a fish. During your excursion you can take a break and snack on trail mix and bottled water while admiring the scenery. When you do catch a fish your guide will quickly release it back into the water. Finally, at the end of your adventure you'll drive back to the ship.
