Icy Strait Fishing Co.

Based in Gustavus at the mouth of Glacier Bay, this operation targets the king salmon that pour through Icy Strait from the Gulf of Alaska on their way to rivers throughout the Pacific Northwest—concentrating fish from hundreds of river systems into one passage. Coho, halibut, and rockfish round out the season from June through September. The short run to the fishing grounds and sheltered inside waters make Gustavus one of the most comfortable launching points for big-fish saltwater charters in Southeast Alaska.
