Multi Day Fishing Trips

Guests should be able to climb in and out of small aircraft with minimal assistance.  Half day guests should be capable of hiking up to 1 mile over backcountry terrain including uneven and/or slippery ground.  Full day trips often involve 1-3 miles of hiking.

The fly fishing opportunities surrounding Juneau are some of the best in Alaska (and the world)! We have excellent Dolly Varden (char) fishing all season long. Some locations offer an opportunity to catch coastal cutthroat trout. Our first Pink Salmon typically arrive in late June/early July and that run lasts most of the summer. Silver Salmon offer a more challenging angling opportunity and typically arrive mid-to-late August. Depending on the time of year, other species you may encounter include Chum Salmon, Rainbow Trout, Steelhead and more.

We provide all necessary fishing equipment. We use quality equipment from brands like Sage, Echo, and Simms. We favor modern, fast-action fly rods (6-8wt), and reels with a solid drag system. Leaders, flies and other tackle all provided by your guide. We carry wader sizes from Women’s small to Men’s XXXL, and wading boots from Women’s size 5 to Men’s size 16. We also have a selection of Children’s waders (please inquire for sizing).

All of our fishing locations lie deep in Alaska’s true wilderness, offering exceptional opportunities to experience wildlife in its natural habitat. Bald eagles soar overhead, brown and black bears roam the riverbanks, Sitka blacktail deer move through the forest, and humpback whales and other marine life are often seen during your journey. For many guests, the immersive wilderness setting is just as memorable as the fishing itself.

In order to secure your booking and trip date(s), we require full payment for your trip.
We will always work with you to attempt to reschedule should you need to make changes to your itinerary. Due to the seasonal nature of our business, our booking policies are firm. Therefore, we highly recommend purchasing trip insurance to protect your investment.

If you need to cancel your trip for any reason, the following is our cancellation refund policy:
Cancellations made 60 days or more prior to your trip date: 100% refund of your trip cost, less a
$100/person, non-refundable permit fee.
Cancellations made 30-59 days prior to your trip date: 50% refund of your trip cost.
Cancellations made less than 30 days prior to your trip date are non-refundable – this includes
“no-shows” and passengers arriving over 30 minutes late of their scheduled trip time.
If Bear Creek Outfitters cancels your trip for any reason, including as noted in our passenger
weight surcharge policy, you will receive a 100% refund of your trip cost, less a $100/person, nonrefundable permit fee.

We operate our trips using small aircraft that have restrictions on weight and balance for safety.

Therefore, any passenger weighing more than 250lbs (113kg) may be charged an additional $300 to help ensure adequate aircraft space. Actual passenger weights are verified for each guest prior to departure. If you or a member(s) of your party exceed 250lbs, please let us know at the time of booking, or as far in advance of your trip date as possible. In the uncommon scenario that a guest does not provide prior notice of exceeding 250lbs, and additional aircraft space is not available, we reserve the right to cancel your trip.
