Trip Pricing

Pricing for guided trips on Bristol Bay’s wildest rivers.

Wild River Trips are $3,950. per person per week.

I guide only pristine wilderness waters

These rivers & creeks rank highest among the most productive fisheries and wildlife habitat in Alaska. The difference between my service and a four star lodge and is that we fly our rafts and camps into the remote headwaters where outboard motors are not heard. Then we float, camp, wade, and fish a river thoroughly for 30-70 miles. This is unimaginable on a lodge schedule where you fish wade & drift fish from the sled after daily flights. These trips can be customized to your own group of 2-6.

Special Trips and Special Pricing

I devote a portion of each year to trips that benefit Trout Unlimited efforts to conserve Bristol Bay in regard to the proposed Pebble Mine. If you are interested in helping conserve the Bristol Bay environment contact me about fly-fishing on a Pebble Mine benefit trip.

My company hosts significantly disabled anglers and campers each year and is unquestionably the most experienced river guiding company in Alaska for disabled fly casters, outdoorswomen and men. We will help you plan a trip that will accommodate your interests and accessibility options. From time to time scholarship funds are available for disabled anglers. See Season Reports for examples.

Occasionally weeklong trips are priced on a sliding scale to individuals who might never get to experience an Alaska wilderness fly-fishing trip any other way. Call or email to discuss this. This applies to college students, wannabe guides, prospective interns, ordinary people, and families who may not be able to afford a retail trip.

Guests sometimes are curious about tipping for guided trips?

Tipping for great or extraordinary service is appreciated! We give each trip 100% of our abilities as guides and hosts. Prior guests have variously contributed to the guides in amounts from 5-15%. Tipping is entirely at your discretion!

Testimonials

A week filled with fish, great food, magnificent camp sites, spectacular vistas, wildlife sightings, fun and, most of all, good people Bob Erickson
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
They acted like horses compared to my Montana spring creek Rainbows Craig Roberts
You & Kate ... are outstanding people and role models Richard Voss
Mark, Thank you many times over for a perfect trip. All your planning and attention really shows Ken Helfenbein
It was a stellar week. Our time on the river strengthened my sense of purpose in life and changed the way I view the world. Bob Roark
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
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
I have a flood of memories from Alaska, but the most remarkable ones were fishing with Mark John Markoff
