Steelhead are the prince
of freshwater game fish.
Steelhead are accessed in freshwater primarily at
the Out camp and by fly-out. Once on the scene, fishing is done
by wading and walking along the banks. At AlpenView, we fish
steelhead on the fly. Favorite rods vary from six weight single
hand to twelve weight spey rods. Lines vary from floating to
fifteen foot sink tips depending on water levels.

The steelhead on Kodiak Island are all natural, wild
fish. Fishing is quite challenging, but the rewards are worth
it. Season after season, year after year, we have averaged 2
steelhead per day per angler. Many silver salmon and Dolly Varden
are taken while fly fishing for steelhead.
Kodiak steelhead average 6 pounds and some can push 20 pounds.
Steelhead are available from late September through October.
The best fishing is generally October.
