Alaskan River Days

Alaska: the very name is a siren call to venture north. Two men with a desire to live and fish on wild rivers begin a series of journeys in the Great Land they will carry through for more than a generation. Self-reliance is their motto: take what you know, outfit with the gear, fly north, and jump into it. They live with the bears and the enormous storms in an incredibly beautiful wilderness. Alaskan River Days is a tale of comradeship in a life of adventure that will bring you to southwestern Alaska to experience extraordinary fly fishing for trophy trout, dangerous run-ins with bears, and a sense of living free in a primal world far distant from the everyday.

The rich tapestry of Alaska is threaded together by 365,000 miles of waterways, from cascading mountain streams to meandering valley rivers, from the meltwaters of glaciers to broad rivers that empty into the sea. This guide profiles a wide variety of rivers from all over Alaska, concentrating on trips for intermediate boaters, and including a few major expeditions for the experienced river-runner.
