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.

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.
