Baranof Float Trips: Fishing Day

Upon arrival at the upper reaches of the Kanektok, you'll be loaded into top quality rafts with custom built floorboards and rowing frames, and begin fishing immediately.

You'll split your day between casting to the banks, with your guide keeping you in position with the oars, and wading some of the most productive riffles and runs. Remember, days are long here at this time of year, and each night's campsite is chosen to offer prime fishing for anyone wishing to extend their fishing day after dinner, and before breakfast! For the next week, you'll be floating through some of the most wild, beautiful country Alaska has to offer, catching rainbows, Dolly Varden, arctic grayling, arctic char and whichever of the seasonal salmon that are migrating- often some combination of kings, chums, silvers, sockeyes or pinks. 25 Words – Kanektok River, the Chosen River, leopard rainbows, mouse fishing, dolly varden, grayling, king salmon, silver salmon, chum salmon, sockeye salmon, float trip, tent camps, rafts, Dutch ovens, rowing, casting to the banks, streamers, egg flies, carcass flies, guides, Mike Trotter, fly fishing guides, wilderness, remote, wade fishing
