If fishing in Willow is on your bucket list, look no further than Ak Wild River Adventures. With Captain Scott at the helm, you're in knowledgeable and experienced hands.
Depending on conditions, you might hook into Rainbow Trout (Steelhead), Grayling , Salmon, Dolly Varden, and plenty more. During the trip you will be fly fishing for native wild fish. We supply all fishing gear required, no need to bring your own.
We have many 14' whitewater rafts available with capacity for 3 passengers each, piloted by the most experienced river guides in the local area. It comes with all the essentials no fishing machine can run without.
Rods and reels are covered by the charter, and so are the flies and life jackets. But you may also bring your own gear if you'd prefer.
Before coming aboard, it will be required to buy a local fishing license for everyone in your group. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain. Some species might be protected or require a tag to keep them, so make sure you know what to expect.
You can't go wrong when you bring sunglasses, sunscreen (non-spray), and bottled water. If you'd like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just be sure to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles. Rain jackets and layers are also recommended.
You could keep reading this, but wouldn't you rather be fishing with Ak Wild River Adventures?

4 Hour Trip – Rafting & Fly Fishing
We had an awesome time with Scott, Dave and Willow (and their wonderful fishing dog), and would recommend it to anyone. Not only was it a great half day on the river but they were super informative and we enjoyed their company - and caught multiple rainbow trout and even a king salmon. Our boys (20 and 17) said it was probably the highlight of our week in Alaska - we will definitely look to book them again when we return!

4 Hour Trip – Rafting & Fly Fishing
Casual raft float and pit stops, guide was extremely knowledgeable, kind, and understood that not everyone has the professional skillset he may possess. He was showing me how to cast a fly rod efficiently, and on his first cast he caught a massive rainbow trout. I waited for the "and that's how it's done" but he laughed was comical. 10/10. Will adventure again.

4 Hour Trip – Rafting & Fly Fishing
Dave and Scott run a great program. Very knowledgeable and professional. Went on a raft trip down Willow Creek! Seen a moose and Dave was very cautious of the area and lead us to safety. Would recommend anyone with or without fly fishing experience to take this opportunity and get out there and experience Alaska!

Dave worked his butt off netting fish changing out hooks provided good locations. Knowledgeable of the river. We were tickled driving home because he got so excited when you caught a fish! He made the whole trip enjoyable. Thanks again for the fun day! Dean and Paulla
