South Fork

South Fork1

The South Fork is a nearly inaccessible fork of a very wild tundra river draining into Kuskokwim Bay, an hour flight west of Dillingham. It requires an overland portage and is suitable for the most adventuresome anglers under optimal water levels. The payoff is fishing water that goes months or years between anglers. I am the only one who can safely take you here. Others attempting the south fork have turned back. It requires special equipment and knowledge. Grayling, Rainbow, Dolly Varden, King, Sockeye, Coho, Chum, and Pink Salmon. Extremely remote and wild. Fishes well with mouse patterns.

Testimonials

Mark, Thank you many times over for a perfect trip. All your planning and attention really shows Ken Helfenbein
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
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.
You & Kate ... are outstanding people and role models Richard Voss
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 have a flood of memories from Alaska, but the most remarkable ones were fishing with Mark John Markoff
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
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.
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
