The Alagnak River, also known as the Branch River, is an internationally recognized destination known for its vast network of braided channels that provide unparalleled wading and fishing opportunities across the season with Sockeye pouring in by the hundreds of thousands, followed by Kings, Chums, and Silvers. Rainbows and Grayling hold behind the biomass. It’s a flexible, fish-rich system ideal for groups wanting a broad Alaska experience.

Standard Style: max 10 guests, 5 guides  ·  Requires minimum 4 anglers to schedule  ·  Trip insurance required for all bookings.

The Arolik River is quiet, clear, and uncompromised. All five salmon species, rainbows with real weight, char lit up like fire, and grayling that rise just because they feel like it. The water is so transparent you’re not guessing at fish — you’re looking them in the eye. Nothing here is automatic. Every cast is earned, every mistake is visible. This isn’t a river for crowds or production numbers. We run just four guests per trip with two guides — small groups, quiet water, a river that stays wild because we treat it that way.

Intimate Rivers Style: max 4 guests, 2 guides  ·  A very limited number of trips annually  ·  Requires minimum 4 anglers to schedule  ·  Trip insurance required for all bookings. Rates are per person and include $100 per day access fee.

The Goodnews River runs approximately 65 miles and is the classic Western Alaska multi-species river — long gravel bars, clear water, and steady action from the first cast to the last. All five species of Pacific Salmon, Rainbows, Grayling, and Dollies cycle through in force. It’s the river that gives you options every single day. Trips on the Middle Fork of the Goodnews are also available — contact us for availability and additional costs.

The Kanektok River is likely the most complete river in Western Alaska. Kings early, Silvers late, and everything else in between. Big water, side channels, sloughs, and long runs give you every style of fishing in one trip. It’s the river our guides talk about when they talk about “the one.

Moraine Creek is a sight-fishing dream — clear water, big trout, and technical presentations. You’re hunting fish, not just catching them. Intimate, visual, and one of the most rewarding rainbow fisheries in Alaska. Big rainbows, bears, and a clear-water system where focus and patience pay off with exceptional sight-fishing shots.

Standard Style: max 6 guests, 3 guides  ·  Requires minimum 4 anglers to schedule  ·  Trip insurance required for all bookings. Rates are per person.

The Togiak River is one of Alaska’s most underrated fisheries — a remote, permit-limited drainage where the Coho salmon fishing in late summer stands alone in our 30-plus years of running Southwest Alaska rivers. We offer six week-long start periods running from late July through mid-September each year. Small groups, two guides, and a river that doesn’t get the traffic it deserves.
