Denali fly fishing guide in Alaska for Arctic Grayling.

Denali Fly Fishing Guides offer personalized and fully outfitted Denali fly fishing excursions in the Alaska range.

Good opportunities exist for Arctic Grayling using lightweight fly gear.

Beginner anglers will learn the basics of fly casting, how to match the hatch, landing fish and catch and release techniques.

Two scheduled half-day trip departures and one full-day trip departure daily include round trip transportation to our base at the Nenana River "Landing".

Denali Fly Fishing Guides offer a 24 mile transfer from your hotel to our headquarters, you will meet your guide and gear up.

We primarily fish clearwater streams and the Nenana River located 25 miles south of the Denali National Park entrance. Full-day trips allow travel time needed to access some of the area rivers and streams.

We will then travel by van to our area's small streams and wade fish for our native Arctic Grayling, the northernmost member of the Trout family. Our light weight gear is ideal for catch and release fishing with barbless hooks. Some walking over uneven terrain is involved in order to bank or wade fish into moving water.

No fly fishing experience is needed however you must be able to walk up to a half mile during the trip. An Alaska fishing license is required and for sale at our headquarters. All fishing gear, flies, rain jacket and hip waders are included. We suggest bringing a pair of good wool or acrylic socks and sunglasses.

Arctic Grayling are the native and naturally reproducing species in the area. In addition, the lake offers a population of stocked Rainbow Trout.

What type of fish

We practice catch and release fly fishing using barbless hooks. Bank fishing is very productive and waders are available if you wish to use them.

Suitability

These trips are designed for all ages (over 12) and all levels of experience. The lake offers a great opportunity to learn the beginner basics or to practice your own technique. Our guides will teach the first time angler as well as help refine the experienced fly caster.

Following hotel transfers to the landing you will meet your guide with your waders and fly gear and jet boat up the Nenana River to a remote wilderness stream. Using light weight fly gear and barbless hooks we will practice catch and release techniques in search of our native Arctic Grayling. Small groups and small streams make this combination jet boat and fly fishing excursion a unique Alaskan adventure you won't soon forget. No previous fly fishing experience is required however walking and some wading on uneven terrain should be expected. Fishing licenses are not included and are for sale prior to fishing.
