THE EXPERIENCE
On a weeklong fly out fly fishing float trips you can expect to see a lot of river. The topography and scenery changes daily throughout the float. The wildlife is abundant! Fish, moose, bears, eagles, ermines, otters, lynx, wolverines, the list goes on! The number of guests is 6 with 3 guides to accommodate gear. 2:1 angler to guide ratio per boat. Throughout the week you will get a chance to explore multiple different fly fishing techniques and tactics. These trips check all the boxes if you are looking for a memorable experience.
THE FISHING
All of these rivers have good native leopardy rainbows, dollies, and grayling. Salmon will be in the mix of things depending on the month, species, and river. We like fishing 9' 6-7wts because these fish are strong and make hard runs toward structures that you need to wrestle them out of. We are usually fishing 0X unless the conditions call for something smaller. If we have a chance at catch and release Kings we will want something heavier like a 8-10wt. The other salmon species are fun on an 8wt and can pull with some serious horsepower. We will also have a couple of specialty rods that are fun to use around camp.

Weather
The weather in Alaska is unpredictable. We can experience 90s or 40s with rain depending on the week. One of the most concerning things about the weather is being able to travel to and from the river safely. There is always a chance with these trips that we will be delayed to get in or our flights to get out will be delayed possibly for days. We bring extra provisions in the rare event our ride can’t pick us up as scheduled.

DISCLAIMERS
These trips are super comfortable and well thought out but are not a week at a lodge. They are physically demanding and as the client you will need to be mobile. There obstacles that will require you to get in and out of the boat, lift +25lbs, stand for long periods, and bend a lot of rods.
Deposits are non refunadable. Flights are in high demand during the summer months and need to be booked months in advance.
