Embark
on a breathtakingly beautiful river excursion with a knowledgeable local
Talkeetna fishing guide. Talkeetna Travel offers both spin fishing
trips and fly-fishing trips. The
Susitna, Talkeetna, Chulitna Rivers and the famous Clear Creek are filled with
salmon, trout, and grayling. I would have to say there's only one thing
that beats a Talkeetna fishing trip in the sunshine: coming home and
cooking up your fresh fish and telling hilarious fishing stories while you savor
your meal!

| A once in a lifetime adventure. This trip is
perfect for an extended day fishing excursion or the adventure enthusiasts.
The Talkeetna River is home to all five species of Pacific Salmon, Rainbow
trout, Dolly Varden and Arctic Grayling. Begin with a scenic float plane
ride landing on a remote lake near the Talkeetna Mountains. World-class
Rainbow trout fishing is just around the corner, as you begin the float
towards the Talkeetna Canyon which offers exciting whitewater and
magnificent views few visitors get to experience. Several clearwater streams
along the way provide great opportunity for catching the fish of your
dreams. |
| Fish the world-famous Clear Creek, which is
home to the best King Salmon run in the Susitna Valley. Many travelers visit
the mouth of Clear Creek, but few venture into the exciting headwaters of
the river. A helicopter will leave us stream side as we begin the journey
toward Talkeetna. The fishing for Rainbow trout is magnificent and the
opportunities for salmon are endless. As we approach the village, this float
encounters mild whitewater and great views of the Alaskan Range. This trip
is tailored for the fishing enthusiast or extended day family adventure. |
This trip takes you as close to Denali and the
Alaska Range as you can get! Easily the most scenic float in
all of Alaska. During the float plane ride keep your eyes open for wildlife,
glaciers and stunning views of
Denali. Then raft and fish your way into Denali National Park. Spend the
evening at Tokosha Mountain Lodge, this homestead provides a cozy cabin,
home cooked meals and live music. More views and fishing awaits as you float
your way back to Talkeetna. Perfect family vacation for those who want to
get away from the crowds. |
