The river where mouse patterns go to die!
The Kanektok River, also known as the "Chosen" River, is a 95-mile-long waterway in Alaska that offers exceptional float fishing. As an angler, you're probably excited about the opportunity to catch beautifully spotted leopard rainbow trout or mighty Pacific salmon. Well, guess what? Alaska Rainbow Adventures can make that dream a reality with our comfortable deluxe float trips on this true wilderness waterway, offering some of the best sport fishing in the world!
The Kanektok River is the perfect size for wading and doing some exciting sight fishing, but it's also big enough to float down comfortably. In July, you can expect to find a variety of species, including King, Chum, Sockeye, and Pink Salmon (available during even years). August and September are prime times for Silver or Coho salmon fishing. Combine all the different Pacific salmon with the heavily spotted Leopard Rainbow trout, Arctic Grayling, Arctic Char, Lake Trout, and sea-run Dolly Varden, and you have nine fish species in one river.
Can you imagine being part of a small group floating down a wild river with unlimited fishing opportunities? Well, you can with Alaska Rainbow Adventures! We have a special use permit that allows us to offer float trips during the Kanektok River's prime fishing dates. Check out our schedule above and book your trip now!
During your trip, we'll take care of everything, from safari-style camping to delicious meals. After a good night's rest on a comfortable cot, wake up to a hearty breakfast and another day of great fishing on the Kanektok River with experienced guides who have what it takes to make this trip memorable. It's no wonder our repeat customers return year after year.
Here at Alaska Rainbow Adventures, we value the natural heritage, resources, and residents of the region, and we encourage our guests to do the same. Our trips are designed to be minimal in environmental impact, educational, and enjoyable. We utilize one guide for every two anglers while floating the Kanektok River in custom-built rafts, each equipped with custom frames with front and rear seating. The group will settle into different campsites each night, and each stop will provide quality fishing opportunities.
So, what are you waiting for? Join us for a fantastic fishing adventure of a lifetime with Alaska Rainbow Adventures!
