Adak is a hidden gem for both freshwater and saltwater fishing, offering over 50 freshwater streams and numerous lakes. Popular species include Dolly Varden, Rainbow Trout, Coastrange Sculpin, and various salmon species such as Sockeye, Pink, Chum, and Coho.

Dolly Varden can be caught from July to November, with top spots like Clam Lagoon near Candlestick Bridge, NavFac Creek, and the streams of Shagak Bay. For Rainbow Trout, try the creeks at Shagak Bay’s east end. Sockeye Salmon fishing is best at Hidden Bay Creek and Constance Creek, though they require a boat or long hike, with peak runs from July to early September. Coho Salmon arrive later, peaking mid-September to early November, and can be found at Sweeper, NoName, and Mitt Creek.

Pink Salmon are abundant in nearly every stream, with top spots including Finger Bay Creek, Little Thumb Creek, and Gannet Creek, peaking from mid-August to mid-September. Lake Andrew offers a mix of Dolly Varden, Kokanee, Coho Salmon, and Pink Salmon.

For saltwater anglers, Adak’s surrounding oceans offer world-class Halibut fishing, along with Salmon, Black Rockfish, and Pacific Cod. The waters are also home to whales, seals, and sea lions, making for an unforgettable fishing experience.
