Access to the Sitka area is by aircraft or by boat only. There is daily jet service to Sitka, and commuter airlines serve the smaller communities nearby. The Alaska Marine Highway links this community with the rest of the region and the Seattle area. The road system on Baranof Island is limited to the area around Sitka. Most fishing access is by charter boat or float plane.
WeatherThe Sitka area is wet by most standards, although the summer months tend to have the best weather of the year. Rain or drizzle is the norm, but periods of dry, sunny weather are typical during the summer.
Clothing in layers, effective raingear, and good footwear are all important for anglers.
