Renton River Adventures — Prince of Wales

FreshwaterSeason not confirmedSoutheast Alaska — Prince of Wales Island, Klawock (Fireweed Lodge)

Each spring Renton River Adventures, an Oregon guiding family, runs its steelhead program from Fireweed Lodge at the mouth of the Klawock River on Prince of Wales Island. No more than four anglers fish each week, driving with the guides to whichever of the island's rainforest rivers the water levels favor and wading them, mostly swinging flies on two-handed rods. The window is short: early April to the first week of May.
