Fishing Day
Exploratory Expeditions are based around a schedule of floating and fishing each day and establishing a new tent camp each evening.

We’ve found that the ideal distance to explore in 6 days is between 30 and 40 miles. This offers lots and lots of fishing time and leaves no section of the river untested or under explored. With long daylight hours there is plenty of flexibility pre-built into the trip. Flexibility is the key to success when stepping into the unknown.

After a midday arrival by helicopter to the put-in spot, you will be able to instantly gear up and fish by foot on the immediately adjacent river. As you do, guides and staff inflate the rafts and orgainize camp gear. Depending on your arrival time, you may float and fish for a few hours before setting up camp, or you may establish camp at the Helicopter LZ.

The next six days follow this basic itinerary:

• Coffee & Tea at 7am
• Breakfast at 8am
• On the water by 9am
• Lunch on the river midday
• Establish new river camp and dinner at 8pm
• Cocktails, campfire and fish stories close out the day. Or, for midnight-sun junkies, the river is always within casting distance from the fire pit.
• In addition to 6 anglers, other Expedition members consist of 1 North American guide, 2 Russian guides, a cook and a camp assistant. Our staff is specifically selected for these intense trips for their expedition expertise, and personal interest in walking on the wild side. The same crew has been working together on our Exploratories for many years. They have it dialed.

Most importantly, every staff member works to see the smile on your face when you hook up.
