Alaska Fish and Float

Guided & Self-Guided Trips

Our float trips take place in the heart of southwest Alaska offering the finest Salmon, Rainbow, Char and Grayling fly fishing in Alaska.   We provide everything including float plane flights, guides, food, fishing equipment, rafts, tents, camping/cooking gear, etc.  Self-guided trips include all the above except the guide, food, and fishing equipment.  These are the best trips for adventurers looking for the true “wilderness” experience of Alaska.
