The Situk River is highly regarded fly fishing destination[3] by many, with anglers traveling to Yakutat specifically to fish this river. Spring steelhead trout, sockeye salmon, and coho salmon can be caught here. Access is from the upper crossing on Dangerous River Road or from a second road that accesses the river near the ocean mouth. All day float trips between these two access points can be arranged from the many fishing lodges in Yakutat.
