Spend an amazing day on the river with ChasingTales Alaska! Join Captain Alex, who's been fishing in the area his whole life. He goes above and beyond for his guests and tries his best to adjust each trip to meet their needs. Based on your skill level and personal preferences, he'll suggest an option where you'll get the most out of your trip.

You'll be fishing on one of the two 21' custom built aluminum boats that can accommodate up to 4 guests each. The boats are powered by single 50 HP Yamaha engines and reach a maximum speed of 30 knots. The vessels are also wheelchair accessible.

All trips are available from mid May until the end of October and you can choose from half-day and full-day trip options. These trips are shared, which means you'll be charged by person, not for the whole boat. Options to book private boats can be discussed, but come wth an upgrade fee.

You'll primarily drift fish and back troll for a variety of fish species, such as Steelhead, Dolly Varden, Arctic Char, and different types of Salmon. Captain Alex covers all fishing equipment and even caters to fly fishermen. Rainbow Trout, Dolly Varden, and Steelhead have to be released, but you get to keep other species.

Feel free to bring any food and drinks you prefer and don't forget to purchase a fishing license.

ChasingTales Alaska does their best to make your trip an unforgettable experience. Choose a date and join for some freshwater action!

June fishing trip
Half Day Trip - 7:00 AM on June 12, 20263 adults

The guide’s introduction was great. Two in our party had previous experience but he offered minor points to improve their techniques. Our novice benefited greatly from focused instruction. They knew eqpxactly where the fish would run. Others just on the other side of the river caught no fish the whole time we were there.

Fantastic Experience
Full Day Trip on June 30, 20258 adults

We had an incredible day on the water with Chasing Tales. Our family group was a bit large, but they were accommodated us by taking out two boats. The guides were top-notch—attentive, helpful, knowledgeable, and patient and friendly throughout the trip. Thanks to their guidance, every one of us was able to catch our limit of sockeye salmon! The experience was not only successful but also peaceful and scenic—being surrounded by stunning natural beauty made it even more memorable. Highly recommend Chasing Tales to anyone looking for a well-organized, professional, and fun fishing adventure.
