"Denali Sized Adventure"

Lake Creek - A Lake Creek Alaska float trip is always fun. Lake Creek was our original home river, and it offers a very accessible and economical wilderness Alaska fly fishing trip due to its proximity to Anchorage. Although there are multiple outfitters who float Lake Creek, Frontier River Guides is one of the very few Alaska fly fishing river guide services to have a bona fide, long time history of operating on the river.

Lake Creek flows 65 miles southerly from Chelatna Lake, located at the base of North America's tallest peak, Denali (Mt McKinley). Enjoyable, modest white water stretches keep the power boats off all but the first two miles and the last five miles of Lake Creek, and create excellent tail out pools, eddies, boulder fields and other habitat that hold vast numbers of large rainbow trout, commonly 15-22 inches (occasionally to 26+ inches) and beautiful arctic grayling.

There are strong runs of all five species of Pacific salmon in Lake Creek and this is a particularly great place to catch king salmon on the fly rod. Through the summer, Lake Creek offers a variety of Alaska fly fishing and spin fishing opportunities, from early season dry fly fishing to late season flesh patterns and other streamers. An Alaska float trip on Lake Creek can offer incredible views of Denali and the Alaska Range; there is the likelihood of a variety of wildlife to observe.

Talachulitna River - Our Talachulitna River float trips offer a nice variety of fly and spin fishing scenarios. The trip starts at Judd Lake, located at the base of the Tordillo Mountains in the Alaska Range, and proceeds for a 20 mile journey down the crystal clear waters of Talachulitna Creek and then another 30 miles through the canyons and forests of the Talachulitna River itself.

Although the Talachulitna is a popular river that is not too distant from Anchorage, it offers excellent wilderness Alaska fly fishing and spin fishing opportunities for rainbow trout generally ranging from 14-21 inches and occasionally coming in at up to 25+ inches. Arctic grayling and all five species of Pacific salmon abound. The Talachulitna River's many tail out pools, eddies and gravel spawning beds give the rainbows places to congregate. Sweepers and log jams create a further variety of structure and fish habitat.

The Talachulitna River sports some fun white water races and canyons, camping and wildlife viewing are good and the river benefits from south central AlaskaÕs generally warm and mild weather conditions. The Talachulitna and other Susitna River tributaries are best fished either early or late in the season.

Stuyahok River - The Stuyahok River offers an Alaska float fishing trip of unparalleled solitude. Very few people fly fish or spin fish on this beautiful little river. The Stuyahok offers a unique Alaska fly fishing experience that it is less confined to specific holes and pools than with many rivers up here, instead consisting of some 25 miles of perfect classic trout waters that may be waded without interruption.

The Stuyahok River Alaska float trip initially travels easterly through exotic high tundra country and continues on that bearing through the boreal forests of Lake Clark National Park. The Stuyahok eventually joins the Mulchatna River on its journey to the sea. This is a small Alaska fly fishing stream of very predictable character, in a beautiful setting.

The float fishing trip is only 35 miles in length on the Stuyahok, yet it features mile after mile of productive fish habitat. Although the rainbow trout are incredibly numerous, they are somewhat smaller than on the trophy Alaska fishing rivers, instead ranging 13-20 inches (with some larger fish up to 24 inches). There are countless beautiful large arctic grayling in the river, as well. Excellent runs of king salmon and silver salmon contribute to the quality of an Alaska fishing vacation spent on this river and the other tributaries to the Mulchatna.
