WESTERN ALASKA
The ancient Kuskokwim Mountains are the backdrop and contributors to the vast Yukon/Kuskokwim Delta and watershed. The massive Kuskokwim River runs parallel to the range, collecting water from the rivers that flow from the mountains of the same name Ancient and long gone glaciers, scoured wide river valleys amidst now much eroded and rounded peaks, creating conduits of life and vegetation which penetrate into the heart of the mountain range. . The rivers feeding into the lower Kuskokwim offer the ideal gravel and other conditions which have led all five species of Pacific salmon to return to them year after year as spawning habitat. It is in this perfect setting that Frontier River Guides offers our specialized Alaska wilderness fly fishing float trips.
