King Salmon River

King salmon1

The King Salmon is a primary tributary of the Nushagak River and an outstanding fly-fishing river. We begin well above timberline in an area rich with big game, Moose, Caribou, and Brown Bear. The views from adjacent ridges and bluffs are spectacular. The rafts descend through tree line and enter the boreal spruce forest. As logs and woody debris fill the channels the Rainbow fishery becomes strong. In mid July the sea run Dolly Varden arrive. This is one of my favorite rivers to take families with younger children on as the forest provides wind protection and plenty of firewood for nice camps. Youngsters and entry-level anglers find success and progress from Grayling to Char, Rainbow, and several species of Salmon over the course of the trip.

Testimonials

The coho fishing started strong and just continued to strengthen, peaking by the hour. There was a session with Jim Bean at "Porpoise Flats" that goes down as the BEST 90 minutes of fishing in my life bar none. Really large silvers on every cast, we spent most of the time doubled up. I'm fairly certain there were no two happier people on the planet at that moment. Bob Erickson
I released more fish in the first three days than I’ve caught in my entire life, combined! Will Tully. Goodnews. July 17-25, 2014.
There was a hard strike with jumps and hollers to match my excitement. Such magnificent beings these Silver Bullet Coho are. Amy Robinson
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
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
They acted like horses compared to my Montana spring creek Rainbows Craig Roberts
I have a flood of memories from Alaska, but the most remarkable ones were fishing with Mark John Markoff
The absolute best fishing in my life; super guides who knew how to fish & tremendous food. Jon Trachta. July 17-25, 2014. Goodnews River.
Mark, Thank you many times over for a perfect trip. All your planning and attention really shows Ken Helfenbein
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
