Alaska Rivers We Service: Fishing, Hunting & Dipnetting Opportunities

Alaska’s rivers aren’t just stunning — they’re full of opportunity for fishing, hunting, and adventure. Whether you’re chasing trophy salmon, rafting remote rivers, or hunting for moose, our boat rental and water taxi services can get you there. Here’s a look at the rivers we service and the fish and game you’ll find along the way.

Southcentral Alaska Rivers

  • Susitna River & Yentna River – Known for king, silver, and chum salmon runs, as well as rainbow trout and grayling. These rivers also cut through prime moose and black bear country, making them popular for DIY hunts. In addition, parts of the Susitna drainage host Alaska dipnetting opportunities, where residents can net salmon to fill their freezers each summer.

  • Knik River – Glacial waters with opportunities for salmon and trout fishing. The surrounding valleys are home to moose, Dall sheep, and black bears.

  • Talkeetna River – Famous for rainbow trout, Dolly Varden, and salmon. The surrounding wilderness also supports moose, bear, and waterfowl hunting.

  • Alexander Creek – A quieter tributary rich with pike and salmon, plus excellent black bear hunting opportunities in the thick timber.

Kenai Peninsula Waters

  • Kenai River – Legendary for its world-record king salmon, as well as sockeye, silver, rainbow trout, and Dolly Varden. The Kenai also runs through strong moose and brown bear country. It’s one of the most popular rivers for Alaska dipnetting, where residents fill freezers with sockeye.

  • Kasilof River – Known for sockeye and king salmon fisheries and home to another popular dipnetting site for Alaskans. The nearby area also offers moose and black bear hunting.

  • Skilak Lake – A gateway between the upper and lower Kenai River, home to lake trout, rainbow trout, and Dolly Varden. The surrounding Kenai Refuge holds moose, caribou, and brown bears.

Interior & Haul Road Rivers

  • Sagavanirktok (Sag) River – Located off the Dalton Highway, this Arctic river supports grayling and Dolly Varden fishing. The surrounding tundra is prime habitat for caribou, moose, and grizzly bears.

  • Koyukuk River – Famous for DIY moose hunts — some of the biggest bulls in Alaska. The river also has pike, sheefish, and grayling for anglers.

  • Tanana River (Fairbanks) – Known for king, chum, and coho salmon runs along with pike and sheefish. Moose hunting is also popular in the floodplain areas.

  • Chena River (Fairbanks) – A clear-water stream with excellent grayling and rainbow trout fishing, plus good access to moose hunting.

Copper River & Beyond

  • Copper River – Legendary for its sockeye and king salmon runs, and world-famous for the taste of its salmon. This river also offers some of Alaska’s best dipnetting opportunities for residents, alongside excellent moose, black bear, and brown bear hunting in the valley.
