Capt. Tuck Harry, the Man Who Founded Fishing Bear Alaska
Welcome to Tenakee Springs on Chichagof Island in Southeast Alaska
My name is Tuck Harry, and I've been living my passion for over 30 years. This beautiful emerald island, nestled between Juneau and Sitka, is the home of Fishing Bear Alaska. Each year, approximately 750,000 salmon migrate to spawn in the rivers of our inlet.
Coho, chum, and pink salmon are abundant in the thirteen rivers flowing into Tenakee Inlet and can be caught in both fresh and saltwater. The majestic Chinook salmon, the largest of the species, feed and can be landed in the saltwater areas near Tenakee Springs.
Halibut are plentiful and can be caught throughout the entire summer season. Join us at Fishing Bear Alaska for an unforgettable fishing adventure!
