The beautiful thing about Yakutat Lodge is that trips are tailored to the desires of the visitors. Fishing is always included in your package, so you can divvy up the number of days between the fly-fishing the rivers and saltwater fishing for giant halibut, lingcod, and salmon. You can also choose to tour the majestic Gulf Coast on trips like the flight-seeing tours of the Hubbard Glacier.

Your accommodations are in fully equipped cabins (with bathrooms and kitchenettes) that accommodate 4-6 persons; and 8-12 persons and are located on the ocean, at the Hooker Dock area. You have to see these incredible cabins to truly understand how comfortable and functional they are.

Enjoy your evenings after fishing for trophy salmon and halibut by relaxing on your own deck overlooking the incredible Yakutat bay. Occasionally you can enjoy the sight of moose and eagles soaring above.It’s just a fish camp, but it’s getting downright cozy! The full-service dining room offers a variety of items, including a daily breakfast of your choice and a full dinner of anything on the menu or choose our large evening seafood banquets which include the freshest crab, shrimp, clams and fish.

The Yakutat Lodge is the closest lodge to the Situk River and other fishing hot spots. Fly-outs literally originate from the front door, with offered packages that include fishing. They prepare, fillet, freeze, and box your catch in custom fish boxes. They’ll even prepare any trophies for shipment to your favorite taxidermist.
