2023 Season Recap

We hope you’re all doing well, as we reflect on another season full of adventure and camaraderie. We’re thrilled to share our highlights from the past season.

Important Updates for the 2022 Season

We are discontinuing our rental wading gear program. The extended repair times and high replacement costs have made it unsustainable at this time. While we have been searching for an alternative in Anchorage, unfortunately the shops we would recommend have be forced to make the same decision.  Currently, we recommend you check with your local fly shop if you need to rent waders or boots.

2019 Season Recap

2019 will go down as the warmest and near driest season on record. Trout fishing started out strong and continued that way until the end despite the crazy heat. We had one of the best seasons in my memory on the Lower American. Not just consistent action but more big fish than normal. Our new Hewescraft project for fishing the Kvichak was a success, still working out some of the details but overall worked great. Read more…
