Juneau

In 1880, Joe Juneau and Richard Harris were searching for gold with the help of Indian guides. Finally, they found nuggets "as large as beans." Out of their discoveries came three of the largest gold mines in the world where more than $150 million in gold was mined. Eventually the mines closed, but the town Juneau founded became the capital of Alaska. Its total area makes it the biggest town, in size, in North and South America - and the second largest in the world.

Combine the challenge of fly-fishing with a breathtaking flight to the heart of the Tongass National Forest during this scenic and memorable outdoor excursion.

Depart the pier with your guide for the scenic flight aboard a floatplane to a remote, wilderness stream or tidal estuary. Depending upon the time of year, you may pursue one of four varieties of Pacific salmon: Dolly Varden, cutthroat trout or steelhead.

Upon arrival, you will be outfitted with top-quality fly-fishing equipment, flies and waders, then begin fishing. Whether you are an experienced or novice angler, your guide will provide assistance throughout your fly-fishing session.

In addition to excellent fishing opportunities, wildlife sightings are common. As a conservation measure, fishing is conducted exclusively on a catch-and-release basis; therefore, processing will not be available on this tour. A snack, coffee and soft drinks are included.

A minimum of three guests is required to operate this tour. This tour involves approximately 3.5 hours of fishing time. Guests are advised to bring insect repellent.
