Dierick's Tsiu River Lodge

FreshwaterGulf of Alaska coast — lower Tsiu River, between Cordova and Yakutat

Open since 1997, this family-run fly-in lodge stands roughly a mile up the Tsiu River from the sea, on the Gulf of Alaska coast between Cordova and Yakutat. Guests walk or ride a guide's ATV to the lower river and wade it with fly or spinning gear for silvers between August and mid-October, and for steelhead from September. Stays are charged by the night, with three nights the least you can book, and the lodge will fillet and freeze kept salmon for a fee.
