Recreation Opportunities
Fishing - River/Stream Info
East of the cabin, there is a creek with coho salmon, pink salmon, cutthroat trout, and Dolly Varden. Generally, there is mixed reports as the fishing in this creek. The coho salmon run in the creek is not particularly large, but the fishing can get hot when schools of coho are nosing around the mouth of the creek and sometimes in the bay at high tide. It’s possible that schools of coho from other areas add to the numbers as they wander around the Sound searching for their natal streams.
Pink salmon spawn in most of the little creeks flowing into the bay and in the main creek. They’re smaller than coho, but they put up a good fight when they’re bright and fresh.
Visit the Alaska Department of Fish & Game's website to review fishing regulations and purchase a license.
Salmon fish counts are monitored throughout Alaska and determine the daily limits for sport, commercial and subsistence fishing. Anyone fishing the Russian River should be aware that the limits are subject to change or restriction depending on the fish count.
Emergency orders, often restricting the harvest of king salmon, can be issued at any time and have the same force and effect as law. Be sure to check the ADF&G's Emergency Order and Press Releases page prior to fishing.
Fishing - Lake & Pond Info
Some of the lakes in the area have good-sized cutthroat trout and Dolly Varden, including some sea-run fish in those systems that don’t have barriers between the lakes and the ocean. If you have a boat, you can fish for halibut and rockfish in the nearby ocean waters.
Life jackets are not provided so be sure to bring your own. And always check the Alaska Department of Fish & Game's website to review fishing regulations and purchase a license.
