3-Hour Guided Fishing in Juneau: Fly or Spin from Shore

You cast from the beach and feel the fight of a real Alaska catch.

A 3-hour guided fishing activity in Juneau where you fish from the shoreline using fly or spinning reels, with all gear, waders, rain gear and a fishing license provided. The guide is a live English speaker, and children from age 7 are welcome. Water and snacks are supplied throughout, and an air-conditioned vehicle gets you to the fishing spot.

The experience

You have a free afternoon in Juneau and want to fish the way locals do instead of watching from a tour boat. This activity puts you on the shore with a guide who knows where the fish are and what they're biting. Whether you choose fly fishing or spinning reels, the guide sets you up with top-of-the-line equipment: waders, rain gear, poles and all the tackle you need are ready before you cast. The fishing license is included in the cost, so there's nothing to arrange beforehand.

The 3 hours on the water are the core of it: you're casting, setting the hook, and fighting fish from the shoreline of southeast Alaska. The guide handles the instruction and the timing, which means you spend the time fishing instead of figuring out where to stand or what to do next. Water and snacks keep you going through the session, and the air-conditioned vehicle brings you back when the time is up.
