Fly fishing and travel go together, and I have visited locations around the world to chase fish, experience adventure, and learn about new cultures. Some of those places have resonated with me, and it’s those ones that I want to share with you. Below are details for my upcoming hosted trip to Alaska.

Silver salmon
Sockeye salmon
Wild rainbow trout
Dolly Varden

All skill levels
Silver Salmon
One of the most fun salmon on a fly rod, silver salmon enter the Mulchatna River in early August. Once there, these fish are aggressive, eating streamers, eggs, and even foam dry flies. They strike with force and fight like crazy, the perfect fish to target in Alaska!
Alaska 2027 Group Trip
Ask any angler about their fly fishing bucket list, and Alaska is almost always near the top. For good reason: the scenery, wilderness, people, and fishing are unforgettable. With that in mind, I’ve put together an incredible week in remote Alaska with Alaskan Remote Adventures, focusing on silver salmon, wild rainbow trout, and much more. I’m excited to announce my 2027 Alaska group trip on the Mulchatna River, August 5–12, 2027.
Over the course of the week, you’ll fish the Mulchatna River and its tributaries for silver salmon, sockeye salmon, wild rainbow trout, Dolly Varden, and Arctic grayling. Getting there is part of the adventure: the group flies by Caravan over Lake Clark National Park and Preserve before transferring to a float plane for the final flight into the lodge.
It’s a true remote-Alaska experience with outstanding fishing at the center of it all. Take a look at the itinerary below for everything included.
