Welcome to the Situk River Fly Shop info web site. This is a work in progress (just as the fly shop itself is a work in progress...), so please check back throughout the year for the latest news on what is happening in Yakutat.
Yakutat has never had a fly shop before and I certainly have never run one. I have high hopes of making this shop into a valuable resource for fly fishermen who fish the rivers around Yakutat, Alaska - not just the Situk, but I'll be asking for your help along the way. My background is pretty straight forward... My name is Bob Miller and I co-own Italio River Adventures. Since we started guiding 10 years ago, my frustration has grown over the lack of support our community offers to fly fishermen. After all, Yakutat is a fly fishing paradise, with the largest wild steelhead run in all of Alaska and the most prolific silver salmon producing streams in the world.
The fly shop will be located in the old World War II hangar at the Yakutat airport. This dilapidated 38,000 square foot building is being renovated at long last, with the fly shop as the anchor tenant. Our grand opening date was April 1st, 2008. Please stop in for a look and keep a close eye on our web sites in the coming months. The shop will feature everything you need for a perfect trip to any of the local rivers and streams. The shop web site (www.situk.com) will offer an even more extensive line of fly fishing necessities than the brick and mortar store. Here in Yakutat, you obviously have no need for a Sage XLT 2wt rod, but we'll still be able to sell those online anyway.
Primary brands we'll sell are Sage, Simms, Ross, Redington, Rio, Scientific Angler, Umpqua, Renzetti, Dyna-King, Dr. Slick, Fishpond, Coast, Under Armour and the list goes on and on...
This web site (www.situk.net) will be used for posting river reports, news and information about services in and around Yakutat. Eventually, we will be organizing a local fly fishing club, where you will be able to have a representative voice in fisheries management, habitat restoration efforts and resource protection. The web site for the club will eventually be www.situk.org. Pretty catchy, eh?
Stay tuned and don't hesitate to send me a comment, question, or complaint.
Thanks,
Bob
