Kanektok River

Kanektok Awesome raft clear water

The Kanektok flows one hundred dazzling clear-water miles from alpine headwaters to the estuary in the Kuskokwim Bay. The river is appropriately world-renowned for it’s excellent fly-fishing, rafting, and camping qualities. The fishery is very, very strong, even by Alaskan standards. Sockeye spawn in the headwaters lake attended by Lake Trout, Dolly Varden, and Grayling. Grayling dominate the upper river and then as the channel becomes more complex the Kanektok hosts ever increasing numbers of very wild Leopard spotted Rainbow Trout. The Kanektok sea run Dolly Varden Char runs are spectacular in number and size. All 5 species of Pacific Salmon are taken as they migrate upriver. Our float trip ends at the Yupik Eskimo village of Quinhagak near the tidewater where we are picked up at the airport and returned to Dillingham.

Testimonials

In our days floating down the river, we encountered the rainbow trout in its rarest form — completely wild, ferocious and faster than a speeding bullet Paul Greenberg
Just then a large grizzly appeared through the willows at the far bank. It was a great Alaska scene. I will continue to explore Alaska with Mark as long as I hold up. John Merritt
They acted like horses compared to my Montana spring creek Rainbows Craig Roberts
I told people I was going on the trip of a lifetime and that is exactly what this has been. John Gormley. Togiak River. August 11-18, 2018
Thank you for the trip of of lifetime & for your fly fishing and casting tips, for your work, your kindnesses, and your good company! Chuck Harris. Kanektok River. August 22-31, 2014
Not a week goes by that I don't think about my fishing adventures with Mark Rutherford in the most remote, stunning, and productive fishery on the planet, Bristol Bay, Alaska. R.A. Beattie
I have fly fished Alaska for many years and this is the best. Not only the number of fish but the quality of the fishing . John Moore
Your understanding of the Alaskan wilderness and biology adds a dimension that you won't get with the lodges.  A true wilderness adventure. Brent Whitney
I can't seem to get the wilderness, the abundance of fish, & the whole camping experience out of my mind. I have never experienced anything similar and I am addicted. Sam Carlisle
I have a flood of memories from Alaska, but the most remarkable ones were fishing with Mark John Markoff
