Your hands shake with anticipation, a bead of sweat appears on your forehead as you prepare to cast...you have it bad, it is known here as "Silver Fever" and there is only one cure . . .  Get cured on one of Alaska Rainbow Adventures near-exclusive Togiak river float trips!. (There are only two permits to operate commercial floats on this stunningly scenic and world class river! ~ To the best of our knowledge we offer the only active float fishing trips at this time.) 

Alaska's fish filled Togiak River flows 60 miles from Togiak lake to Togiak Bay and along it's entire length you will find it filled with exceptional fishing, for pacific salmon, resident rainbow trout, arctic char and grayling all while you are surrounded by breathtaking scenery. Come experience Alaska's Togiak River and the camaraderie of a wilderness Alaska fishing float trip that is second to none.

Togiak River Fishing Alaska Togiak float TripCommercial use of the Togiak River is Managed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service in order to maintain the resource for all users, and in part to protect the quality of experience you expect when visiting a remote Alaska stream. Because of this we are one of only two authorized  operators that conduct commercial float trips of any kind on the Togiak River and we strive to offer the highest quality trip possible for you while maintaining the highest standard in wilderness values. One of the great benefits for you the visitor is that on one of our Togiak River Alaska float trips is that there are not an unlimited number of guides competing for space on the river, sure we likely will see other people, perhaps local residents from  the Village of Togiak but on many trips we rarely see anyone.

 

Togiak Trophy Rainbow TroutPaul:

     It was a trip of a life time.  The weather was glorious.  The only rain was the day we flew to the lake and then the sun shone on us and the mountains for the nest 5 days.  I would highly recommend this trip to anyone who wants great fishing and a mountainous landscape for a back drop. I caught my trophy rainbow-28 inches and we caught the most beautiful dolly varden I had ever seen; 2-4 lbs.  

     The food was outstanding-steaks, shrimp and crab, eggs, bacon and french toast just to name a few.  But the part of the trip that I enjoyed he most was spending time getting to know our hard working guide, cook, bear authority, boat paddler and all around "best new friend" Mike Bianchi.  It was so refreshing to spend 6 days fishing with someone who you could tell, from the very beginning, loved doing what he was doing and honestly enjoyed being with us and sharing the beauty of Alaska.  

      Mike worked his butt off.  He was always happy to show me the ropes;  and was a get picture taker and fish netter.  We never ran into any other group, except for 3 other fishermen flown in for 4 hours of fishing upstream of our position.  We has the Togiak to ourselves.  Paul,  you and Mike run a first class operation.  I am 59 and no spring chicken, and Mike always was there to make sure I was having a great time.  

     I look forward to another "adventure" with you.

The Togiak is a crystal clear waterway flowing through open tundra and some of the most beautiful country in Southwest Alaska. Noted for it's spectacular silver and king salmon fishing, the Togiak also offers excellent angling for arctic char, sockeye, chum and pink salmon with the later available during even years.

Opportunities also exist to pursue large rainbow trout and grayling on this exceptionally scenic river. This is a wonderful river for fall silver salmon fishing, when crisp evenings and awe inspiring displays of the northern lights signal an end to the arctic summer, or during June / July at the height of the sockeye, chum or king salmon runs. Larry Csonka on Togiak River Trip

King Salmon runs begin in mid-June and fishing is excellent through late July with fish weighing up to 60 pounds. The Silvers enter the river in early August and fishing is great until late September.

Larry Csonka and his wonderful crew from "North To Alaska" joined us on a Togiak River Float trip in September of 2000. This trip was filmed at the time for TNN and was seen on that network in the spring and summer of 2001. A copy of this episode is available from us here at Alaska Rainbow Adventures as a DVD or you may check on Larry Csonka's North To Alaska web site for information on getting a copy of this video about floating Alaska's Togaik River on an Alaska Rainbow Adventures float fishing trip. Come fish Alaska's Togiak River!
