ALAGNAK RIVER
ALASKA

Acrobatic silver salmon, electrified rainbow trout, beautifully colored char, and grayling join together with the breathtaking beauty of the Alaskan Wilderness to create, in our estimation, one of the finest fly angling destinations in the world.

Bordering the Katmai National Park and Preserve, the Alagnak River offers to the angler true world class fishing for bountiful populations of Alaska's native trout and salmon.  It also is home to a bold assortment of wildlife including grizzly bear, moose, caribou and bald eagles offering unending spectacular wildlife photographic and viewing opportunities throughout your stay.

The nearest camp is over 34 miles away. There is no float access for the fly-out lodges. This means we do not compete for water with any other camp. None of the fly-out lodges are able to access the 30 mile stretch of the Alagnak we will be fishing.

The river is medium sized and fast running. The majority of the fishing is done on small islands while wading shallow gravel bars and tributaries.

Over 200 miles of river tributaries and braids contain healthy populations of four of the five species of Pacific salmon and other native species:

Chinook (King) Salmon
Coho (Silver) Salmon
Chum (Dog) Salmon
Pink (Humpy) Salmon
Leopard Rainbow Trout
Arctic Char
Grayling

FACILITIES

Lodging will be semi-private with each two guests having either their own private carpeted log cabing or a Weatherport tent cabin.

Dining Room and Recreation Area is equiped with entertainment system containing stero TV, DVD and VCR. Also included is a satellite internet cafe.

This extremely comfortable out-camp includes:

Fulltime hot showers
His/hers indoor modern bathrooms with flush toilets, vanities and mirrors
Electricity to each cabin from 7AM to 11 PM

RIVER TRANSPORTATION
You will have unlimited access to three rivers and the Nonvianuk and Kukaklek Lake outlets by means of 18 ft custom jet boats using Yamakah jet boats piloted by your guide. Flyouts are not required to reach excellent fishing.

FLIES
Bright colored purple, black and pink streamers for the salmon. Egg and leach patterns for the Rainbows, Char and Grayling.

WEATHER
Temperature will range from 40 to 80 degrees. Therefore, you should plan to dress in layers so you may adjust as temperatures and other weather conditions require. In Alaska, you should always plan on rainfall that can vary from a all-day mist to downpours.
