Answer: Yakutat is a remote and stunning part of Alaska, offering a mix of glaciers, wildlife, and coastal landscapes. With only a day to explore before your fishing trip, you’ll want to focus on the highlights that are accessible in a half- to full-day timeframe.

Answer: Lori, given your timeframe of Sunday, September 14 to Friday, September 19, and your preference for a Yakutat-area fishing experience with a focus on silver salmon, there are still several options for fly-in or lodge-based fishing trips. Since your usual trip was along the Alsek River, you may want to consider alternatives in the Yakutat area that offer similar guided experiences and bear viewing.
