Our trips will take you to some of the most scenic water found in Alaska. We fish the Nenana River and many of its tributaries including: Fish Creek, Jack River, Brushkana Creek, Seattle Creek, Bruskasna Creek, Wells Creek, and many other wild rivers and creeks! These wild waters can be very cold, even in the summertime. The Nenana river is a glacially fed river, reaching a maximum temperature of about 37 degrees F during the hottest times of the year. The headwaters of the Nenana river lead you to the Nenana glacier situated in the Alaska range, where it is actively carving away at the mountains surrounding--leaving the river silty for much of the ice-free months.
