The Icy Strait of Alaska is a strait, or waterway, that divides Chichagof Island from the mainland. It is in the southeastern part of the state near the Gulf of Alaska. There are fishing opportunities in the area, but to take advantage of them, you will need to travel by plane or boat. There are no roads that lead out of the area. Once there, unless you came by boat, the main way to get to the fish is by using a local charter service.

Dream Fish Charters

Dream Fish Charters helps you fish the Icy Strait where you are likely to catch a variety of salmon species such as coho, king, pink and chum, as well as halibut, Pacific cod and rockfish. For those worried about the motion of the boat, you don't have to stress. The water in the strait and surrounding bay areas is fairly calm, providing you with a smooth trip.
