Fall and winter reports
Fall and winter fishing in the Yakutat area is primarily focused on steelhead in the Situk River. Fish reports posted as Steelhead Updates will be intermittent throughout the winter months as conditions change.
Steelhead Update
Steelhead have moved up the river and are in mid-river holes as well as a few above 9 mile bridge. Water conditions are high for now but are dropping fast. Overall conditions are still a bit warm but good for steelhead movement. Many coho and Dolly Varden are still in the river. All roads are accessible as of 11-3-14.
Weather conditions in Yakutat in the fall and winter can limit your access to the Situk River. Anglers should be prepared for potential weather related delays and be aware that roads may become totally impassable any time after October 1st due to heavy rains and or snow. Impassable road conditions may not be repaired until spring.
