The
Rivers we run Float trips on in Katmai
The
fly fishing in
this part of Alaska is nothing short of Fantastic if you want to fly fish
for wild runs of anadromous fish. We have access to 5 separate river
systems from King Salmon. These include the Alagnak River, Kukaklek
River, American Creek and the Karluk River.
The rivers we run float trips on range from fairly small and running slow, to fast
and very large systems. All the rivers we float are clear running
streams with no Glacial runoff. Most of the float trip fishing is pocket
water fishing were we use small brightly colored purple and pink
streamers for the Salmon, egg patterns for the Char & Dollies,
using a 7wt fly rod.
On the
starting day of your trip,
usually on Sunday morning between 8-10am a representative from A.T.A.
will meet you in King Salmon and get you ready for your 30 minute charter flight
to the lake outlet, in one of the meticulously
maintained Dehavilland Beaver Floatplanes. The charge for this charter
is $150 per person, this covers your
rd trip travel.
Alaska Trophy Adventure

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.
