The Tsiu River (pronounced sigh-you) is essentially a gravel rich drainage for a number of streams, creeks and ponds combining to form a flood plain channel of about five miles in length that empties into the Gulf of Alaska some 100 miles east of Cordova.

Coho) spawning habitat to be found anywhere in Alaska and for this reason it is the best silver salmon fishery in the state.
