Drifting down the Kanektok River, also known as the "Chosen River," is an experience that transports you into a realm where wilderness reigns supreme. This isn't just a fishing trip; it's an immersion into the untamed heart of Alaska. The name Kanektok is spoken with reverence among anglers, as this river is abundant with a variety of fish species that is truly unmatched.

Imagine casting your line into waters that host all five species of Pacific salmon—Kings, Sockeyes, Cohos, Chums, and Pinks—each run adding a unique chapter to the river's seasonal story. In addition, you have the opportunity to catch legendary leopard rainbow trout, with their beautifully intricate patterns, along with the silvery flash of Dolly Varden and the delicate rise of Arctic grayling. This river is a true fish factory, a place where every cast holds the promise of an unforgettable encounter, and with us here at Alaska Rainbow Adventures, you'll witness this spectacle firsthand.

The Kanektok itself is a masterpiece of angling versatility. Its braided channels, varying depths, and diverse currents create the perfect canvas for a float fishing adventure. Whether you're swinging streamers for salmon, delicately nymphing for grayling, the river's unique characteristics allow anglers to employ a wide range of techniques, ensuring that every day on the water is filled with new challenges and opportunities. Among its many treasures, the Kanektok is particularly celebrated for its world-class rainbow trout fishing. The thrill of hooking a trophy rainbow on a mouse pattern, watching it erupt from the water in a spectacular display of power, is an experience that lingers long after the trip is over. This is the stuff of angling dreams, and the Kanektok delivers it in spades.

Despite its remote location, here at Alaska Rainbow Adventures, we work hard to ensure you a comfortable and safe experience. We provide expertly guided float trips, ensuring both safety and success.
