    Tips

    The mouth of tiny Scheffler Creek is popular for Salmon fishing. The stream flows right through the heart of the town of Seward. It starts high in the Mt Marathon Bowl where ice-cold water from melting snow shoots over the cliffs in a spectacular waterfall. Other small artesian-fed creeks join at a Lagoon and all flow through culverts under Third Avenue to Lower Scheffler Creek and then out to the bay south of the harbor uplands.
    Pink, Red, and Silver salmon use the stream and its tributaries for spawning, rearing and passage. King salmon are stocked annually in the Lagoon. Salmon are in the stream all year round, either as spawners, eggs, alevin, fry, or smolt. In 2011 a pedestrian bridge, now popular with tourists, was built to replace two damaged culverts at the stream outlet. The new bridge and stream design allows improved fish passage and spawning habitat.

      For the nearby campers, this bridge on Scheffler Creek is a meeting place to land the coveted fish in the summer. Once a salmon is on the hook, they must do their best, since the power of salmon is so strong that often even the fishing line is torn.

        The Scheffler Creek is the main river of Seward and is also used by the salmon.
