Our River, The Kakweikan

Recently we added our river trip to our ocean salmon fishing. These day trips, out of Wilderness Fishing, were extremely popular, not only for the beauty of the river and the wildlife (Grizzly & Black Bear, Timber Wolves, Bald Eagles, etc.) but also for the great fishing action.
The Kakweiken is a class 2 restricted river. We have been fortunate to acquire permits for it. In the summer, mid July through September, all four species of salmon run up the river to spawn in the upper reaches. They provide some incredibly exciting battles. A 20 lb. Coho on 8 lb. test line can keep you busy for as long as an hour. This is a real bonus side trip to your ocean fishing adventure.

A Typical River Day...
starts before dawn with breakfast and coffee for an eye opener. You then catch the first light bite (best time ocean fishing). Around 7:30 you are boated to a dock at the mouth of the river, met by our guide -Trapper Rick- who drives you to his riverside cabin. From there you are taken up to 8 pools to try your luck using light casting gear. Later in the afternoon, after a delicious picnic lunch, it's back to the lodge for dinner and some more ocean fishing in the evening
