Charter boats are available to take you into the Yakutat Bay where you can hook into halibut, lingcod, several species of rockfish and both King and Silver Salmon. Halibut exceeding 100 lbs are common. Contact Scott at www.yakutatcharters.com or gary@fishyakutat.com for more information.
Dreamcatcher Lodge is one of the few permit holders that can take guided fishing trips down the scenic Situk River (located in the Tongass National Forest) where bear sightings are common. The Situk River is legendary for it's Spring and Fall Steelhead runs and also supports a summer long influx of salmon. With more than ten years experience on this river, your guide, Ron DeNardi of DeNardi Outfitting can float you down the river in his fully equipped and comfortable Fish-Rite boat in groups of two or three. Or grab your waders & fly rod for a day of bank fishing. The river is 19 miles long, crystal clear with gentle currents. The average depth is waist deep with an easy wading gravel bottom.
Air Taxis are available to take you to several remote rivers to enjoy an afternoon of fishing and to see the remote, scenic wilderness.

Yakutat is known for it's un-crowded, wide open beaches with waves up to 100 yards long that shift between chest high to a few feet overhead depending on the stage of the tide. Ride the waves with a magnificent view of Mt. Saint Elias, the second highest peak in the U.S. Outside Magazine has named Yakutat one of the five best surf towns in America and National Geographic Adventure rated Yakutat number 39 out of 100 in it's Adventure Countdown.

The U.S. Forest Service has made the Yakutat hiking trails accommadating and very enjoyable with marked trails that are well groomed. Walk just a short distance to see one of the few authentic, hand carved native totem poles in Southeast Alaska. Go to www.seatrails.org to learn more about hiking trails in Yakutat.
