These remote camps are located in several prime locations depending on the time of year and the species you wish to target. The river camps offers 4 anglers per week world class fly fishing or spin fishing for ocean run salmon-trout & char the average angler can expect to catch 10-20 fish per day, with experienced fisherman landing 20-30 a day. A healthy resident Rainbow & Char population make for some added fun.
These trips work great for families and groups of old friends who just want to have a great fishing trip on a reasonable budget. The camp has no staff just your group so if you think you have what it takes to be X-treme then this trip is for you. The comforts at the X-treme camp include weatherproof bomb shelter sleeping tents with cots and air mattresses a kitchen tent with folding chairs and complete cooking set with dishes and all food for the week.
The fishing in this part of Alaska has a prehistoric appearance and is nothing short of exhilarating. If you want to fish for wild runs of Salmon, you've found the right place. We have access to 5 separate river and lake camps all located 50-75 ft off the river, which offers unlimited fishing till sun down if you have the extra energy.
The rivers are fairly small to Alaska standards. It's just right to throw a full fly line. An 8 wt with a couple of sink tips, and a spare floating line will work just fine for the week. If coming in June, many anglers choose a 7wt, since the water conditions are much lower. A mixture of glacial gravel and cinder bottoms creates a safe home to these giants. The fishing is varied, with large traditional holding pools and mixed pocket water available. Commonly used fly patterns are large brightly colored Purple, Pink and Black Marabou Streamers for the salmon, as well as Egg Sucking Leaches for the trout. Egg patterns work well for the Char & Dollies using a 7wt fly rod and a floating line.
Fall Trout or Silver Salmon unguided fishing Trips
The fall fishing in August & September features some awesome fly fishing over ocean bright silver salmon and trophy rainbow trout. The salmon average 12-14lbs with giants caught up to 20lbs each fall. If you like traditional fly fishing over very aggressive bright fish, this is the place for you. All of our fishing is 100% catch-n-release for these truly wild rainbows but you can keep your legal limit of salmon. During the fall we get frequent storms that can move through with rain and high winds, No whiners allowed. This time of year only true fishermen looking for the best wild salmon & trout on the planet need join us.

Travel to this remote part of Alaska is fairly simple since Alaska & Peninsula Air has daily flights down the Peninsula originating in Anchorage connecting in King Salmon. You will need to make arrangements with Alaska adventures or your your local travel agent to arrive in King Salmon on the start day of your trip by 10am. You will then transfer to Branch river air charter for the 30 minute flight to your remote camp.
All guests will have to fly to Anchorage or King Salmon the previous day and spend the night to catch the early morning flight with Penn air. At the end of your trip we will return you to the local airport in King Salmon and you will catch a return Alaska Air or Peninsula air flight to Anchorage getting in around 6 to 7pm. Due to the commercial airline schedules, many guests may wish to stay over again in Anchorage catching a morning flight back to their home airport.

The weather in this part of Alaska is unpredictable, and during the fall season it can vary from rain to sleet with high winds. Be mentally prepared for the worst and everything else will be a bonus. During August the average daily temperatures range from 50 to 60 degrees with a few real nice days reaching the 70's. Morning temperatures can dip into the mid 40's. Everyone should pack and dress accordingly with layers of Polar fleece and a good rain and wind shell for the outer layer. Don't forget a warm hat, gloves and sleeping bag.
Expect it to be windy as the average wind blows between 5 to 10mph. Some days the wind can top 25mph. This does not slow us down as we have gotten used to it. Be prepared to make adjustments in your fishing techniques. If planning to fly out to one of our other remote camps. .

Mandatory trip Cancellation and Travel Insurance Recommendation:
A fishing expedition will certainly offer you an exciting and rewarding experience. Unfortunately, however, one undertaking such an angling adventure must face the possibility that you or your fishing companion might be forced to cancel your trip at the last moment due to illness, injury or other emergency or sustain an unfortunate injury and require medical services or worse, medical evacuation during your trip. Trip cancellation and travel insurance can help protect you and your travel companions from these unforeseen and unfortunate circumstances. We can book your insurance through Travelguard, a major, reliable insurer of traveling anglers. Typically, the cost of an extensive program is less than $150 per angler. It is wise to always consult with your personal health insurance provider before undertaking any type of travel to determine what is covered in the event of injury or illness during your travels.

Alaska Adventures fishing Testimonials
Charlie---The food, lodging, boats, guides and scenery were all outstanding. Or did it just seem that way because I experienced the hottest rainbow action of my life on the Alagnak? The sockeyes, big grayling, and a couple of lakers added variety, too. I'll recommend your operation to anyone who loves fish but dislikes crowds.
