Type: Freshwater rivers Season: Mid-June to Mid-Sept
Fully-outfitted, guided and unguided multi-day float trips on the legendary trout rivers of the Bristol Bay watershed. Fantastic wilderness camping experience with incredible fishing, wildlife (yes, bears!) and scenery. This is a very inexpensive way for intrepid fly rodders to experience the best of Alaskan angling. Professionally staged out of Rainbow River Lodge, these are extremely popular trips and dates sell out quickly. Price varies on length of time and level of support.
Cost Range: $2,600 week from Iliamna for guided float trip
