Yakutat Lodge serves one of Alaska's best-known steelhead rivers, the Situk, along with the open waters of Yakutat Bay. Guests choose among three lodging options: the Airport Hotel, which has a full-service restaurant and bar, private Cabins on the Bay, and The Big House for larger groups with a private chef.
Guided river trips float about 14 miles of the Situk for steelhead, sockeye and coho salmon. The ocean fleet (Happy Hooker III, Happy Hooker IV and Madam Hooker) runs halibut, lingcod and rockfish charters with new gear and professional skippers. A commercial fish-cleaning facility fillets, vacuum-packs and freezes each catch.
It covers food, lodging, guided fishing and processing of the first 50 lb of fish. Spring steelhead and saltwater-only specials run in the shoulder season.
