Alaska, United States

Steelhead Creek Camp

FreshwaterAlaska Peninsula — Bering Sea coast, about 40 miles along the beach from Nelson Lagoon

Only two anglers at a time stay at this tent camp behind the dunes, where a small creek meets the Bering Sea on the Alaska Peninsula. One guide, who also cooks and runs the camp, takes them wading for wild steelhead with swung flies on single-hand or short spey rods from mid-September through October. Aleutian Adventures, which also runs Sandy River Lodge and Sapsuk River Camp, flies guests to Nelson Lagoon, and a Jeep carries them down the beach when the tide allows.
