Trips For Experts, Families, Intermediate, and Entry Level Fly Casters


  • Intermediate and Entry Level Fly Fishers

  • Expert Anglers

Intermediate & Entry Level Fly Fishers

If you are an intermediate fly-fisher you will be transformed after a week with our talented guide staff. You will have lots of “hands-on fishing & catching” experience in a week spent fishing, on one of Alaska’s Bristol Bay region clear rivers.

The entry-level angler will progress from beginner to intermediate. Success, and lots of it, will come while fishing for Grayling and Char. Our guides will help the beginner sharpen casting, playing, & releasing skills dozens of times per day. By day 2 and 3 the beginner is confidently fly casting, hooking, & landing fish. The Rainbows & Char, and the trophy Salmon are the frosting on the cake for the novice.


Family and Group Trips

Fly fishing, rafting, & camping trips with family or a group of friends are great ways to create memories which you will share for a life time.

A family trip is planned to match your groups abilities, interests & needs. You will be very comfortable in our rafts, while hiking, and at home in our camps. The less experienced participants will have plenty of support learning the essential fly fishing and wilderness travel skills.

We raft through incredibly beautiful Bristol Bay Alaska landscapes and spend time observing and photographing wildlife, landscapes, & wildflowers. We consider all the participants interests. Some want more hiking, swimming, berry picking, time to read and relax. Others want 14 hours / day non-stop fishing.


Expert Anglers

For experts, I offer my service as a specialist in Bristol Bay Alaska’s most challenging rivers. I am an expert at finding large Rainbows, Salmon & Char.

When you fish with us, we will apply two skill sets that we have previously developed:

  • Efficient backcountry travel. For the expert we will operate more effectively as a team at the logistics of rafting along the river, camping, and moving across the sub arctic landscape.
  • The skills you have previously developed searching for large fish in other North American watersheds will be brought to bear on the best and most challenging fishing in the United States. Because of your experience, you can fish the whole water column while our guides control the boat for searching casts & long drag free drifts. You get out and wade at every “choice” bar, reach, pool, or riffle and get the fly searching while we handle logistics.

Testimonials

I have a flood of memories from Alaska, but the most remarkable ones were fishing with Mark John Markoff
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
The absolute best fishing in my life; super guides who knew how to fish & tremendous food. Jon Trachta. July 17-25, 2014. Goodnews River.
There was a hard strike with jumps and hollers to match my excitement. Such magnificent beings these Silver Bullet Coho are. Amy Robinson
Our week was more than a pleasure.  It was a really great experience for both me and the boys.  Can't tell you how much we enjoyed it! Scott Slappey. Goodnews. July 17-25, 2014.
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
A week filled with fish, great food, magnificent camp sites, spectacular vistas, wildlife sightings, fun and, most of all, good people Bob Erickson
Mark, Thank you many times over for a perfect trip. All your planning and attention really shows Ken Helfenbein
They acted like horses compared to my Montana spring creek Rainbows Craig Roberts
