Fishing Description

You will be awakened by fresh coffee or juice delivered to the door of your private cabin at 7:00AM, followed by multi course breakfast. Venues for the day are usually planned the night before based on your interests, and our continual monitoring of fishing waters, allowing you the opportunity to select best gear for the days adventure.

At 8:00AM aircraft, pilots and guides are ready to launch. You could be headed for a clear water stream with flyrod or light tackle where char and grayling can be expected in numbers of 50+ per rod from sandbars with a nice breeze.

You could be headed for your waiting guide and boat where you could expect to release a dozen or more shee fish in excess of 12 lbs and as many silver salmon.

You may be loaded for rainbow trout and char in the Bristol Bay drainage or an hour flight seeing trip to secluded stream to observe brown bears.

A 15 minute flight with wheel plane can deliver king salmon fishermen to confluence of beautiful clearwater and local river where you can expect to "give out" before the kings do. This fishery is ideal for fish to 40 lbs on a flyrod.

Your day can take you to Lake Clark NWP. where 50 to 100 grayling per rod are not uncommon as well as some sockeye salmon and lake trout.

A great day can be spent fishing 20 lb+ northern pike (also a sweet flyrod fish) adding some shee fish and/or silver salmon. Our silver salmon arrive 1st week of August, and typical day will yield 20+ of these 8 to 12 lb fighters per rod plus the odd shee fish or northern pike.

A couple of items with our fishing - you will rarely see any other fishermen while fishing with us, and you can expect to catch and release between 6 and 10 different species of fish. Our general itinerary is to fish different water each day of your adventure although usually our clients will wish to return to a favorite spot later in their trip and this can always be accommodated.
