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

I have a flood of memories from Alaska, but the most remarkable ones were fishing with Mark John Markoff
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.
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
Awesome Trip! A life changing event for me. We made a great team and worked well together, laughing and enjoying every moment. I personally am very grateful for the opportunity to meet and share those moments with all of you. Davide Picard. Kanektok River. June 27-July 5, 2014
They acted like horses compared to my Montana spring creek Rainbows Craig Roberts
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 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 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
