The Alagnak River

The Alagnak River is located in the Lake Iliamna “Trophy Trout” region of Alaska, 10 miles south of Lake Iliamna itself. It’s clear, fast waters host some of the largest runs of pacific salmon in the world as well as an abundant population of arctic grayling. It’s these salmon that lure in the giant Alaskan rainbows. The pinnacle of Alaskan fly-fishing is chasing giant spotted rainbows feeding on salmon eggs late in the summer and fall. If you have always wanted to catch a double-digit rainbow, the Alagnak River is one of the best places in the world to test your luck.

If fishing is not in your cards for the day, we invite you to join us and sit back while viewing wildlife like Eagles, Caribou, Moose, Wolves, peregrine falcons, Fox, Beavers, and the large Alaskan Brown Bear, which can be seen on the hour. It is not uncommon to safely see over 20 bears a day. We will practice and teach you proper bear etiquette while getting closer to the animal. Rounding a river bend on the raft and seeing a 2000 lb. animal on the bank is quite a sight. Cameras are a must!

The Nushagak River

The Nushagak River, which drains into the famous “Bristol Bay”, is known for hosting the largest King Salmon run with over 165,000 salmon passing through the river each year. The river is a remote beautiful area with clear water and rolling tundra. All five salmon species spawn into the Nushagak River. The Nushagak is also famous for its trophy sized Rainbows, dolly Vardens, grayling and an abundance of silver salmon come late summer. The river also creates an inviting habitat for bald eagles, bear, moose, caribou, wolves and other Alaskan wildlife.
