Hoonah, Alaska

Edgewater Outfitters offers a truly off-the-grid Alaskan experience centered around private, small-group fishing and wildlife excursions on remote Chichagof Island. Operating out of the quiet village of Hoonah near Icy Strait Point, their trips take guests far beyond typical tourist routes into untouched streams and backcountry terrain. These 5–6 hour guided adventures focus on solitude, pristine fishing conditions, and immersive wildlife encounters in one of Alaska’s most bear-populated regions, part of the famed ABC Islands. Guests can expect opportunities to catch salmon and trout while potentially spotting coastal brown bears, eagles, and other native wildlife in their natural habitat. Led by experienced local guide Captain David “Remo” Riemenschneider, Edgewater Outfitters emphasizes personalized, authentic outdoor experiences for all ages. Each excursion includes professional photography and a custom video reel, allowing guests to relive their adventure long after it ends. Trips are intentionally limited in size to maintain exclusivity and minimize environmental impact, with a strong focus on conservation and catch-and-release practices. From the scenic drive and short hike into remote fishing spots to the quiet moments surrounded by Alaska’s wilderness, Edgewater Outfitters delivers a rare, intimate connection to nature that goes far beyond a standard fishing charter.
