Talkeetna Fly Fishing Expeditions

Talkeetna Canyon: A once in a lifetime adventure. This trip is perfect for an extended day fishing excursion or the adventure enthusiasts. The Talkeetna River is home to all five species of Pacific Salmon, Rainbow trout, Dolly Varden and Arctic Grayling. Begin with a scenic float plane ride landing on a remote lake near the Talkeetna Mountains. World-class Rainbow trout fishing is just around the corner, as you begin the float towards the Talkeetna Canyon which offers exciting whitewater and magnificent views few visitors get to experience. Several clearwater streams along the way provide great opportunity for catching the fish of your dreams.

Clear Creek Float: Fish the world-famous Clear Creek, which is home to the best King Salmon run in the Susitna Valley. Many travelers visit the mouth of Clear Creek, but few venture into the exciting headwaters of the river. A helicopter will leave us stream side as we begin the journey toward Talkeetna. The fishing for Rainbow trout is magnificent and the opportunities for salmon are endless. As we approach the village, this float encounters mild whitewater and great views of the Alaska Range. This trip is tailored for the fishing enthusiast or extended day family adventure.

Lake Creek Float: Fly-in, float the river and fly-out! Lake Creek provides over 50 miles of clear fishing water that is home to some of the best fishing in the valley. Strong runs of King and Silver Salmon accompanied with fantastic opportunities for Rainbow Trout, Dolly Varden, and Arctic Grayling leave the hardcore fisherman with plenty of options. Multi-day trips are a must for navigating the river which offers several sections of class III whitewater and great views of the Alaska Range. Another must do trip for those who want to focus on catching a lot of fish!

East Fork of the Chulitna: Enjoy a scenic drive north into the Alaska Range and begin your adventure on the clear flowing East Fork of the Chulitna River, which is home to King, Sockeye, and Coho Salmon, as well as Rainbows and Arctic Grayling. This trip takes you into the heart of Denali State Park, where you can float or wade fish; enjoy wilderness camping, hiking and mild whitewater rafting. Fantastic views of Denali and the Alaska Range are endless as we make our way back to Talkeetna.

Tokositna River: A truly unique adventure opportunity. This trip takes you as close to Denali and the Alaska Range as you can get! Easily the most scenic float in all of Alaska. During the float plane ride keep your eyes open for wildlife, glaciers and stunning views of Denali. Then raft and fish your way into Denali National Park. Spend the evening at Tokosha Mountain Lodge, this homestead provides a cozy cabin, home cooked meals and live music. More views and fishing awaits as you float your way back to Talkeetna. Perfect family vacation for those who want to get away from the crowds.

Walk/Wade Trips: Whether you are an experienced angler or beginning fly fisher, a day on the river is always a treat. Enjoy fishing for salmon, Rainbow Trout, Arctic Grayling, and Dolly Varden at either Montana Creek or Clear Creek. Waterfalls, wildlife and clear water creeks provide amazing backdrop for the participants who only have a day or two in the Talkeetna area!
