Overnight Guided Fishing Trips

If you are looking for the ultimate guided fishing trip on a wild and scenic Alaskan River, look no further.  We give you two full days floating from Sourdough to our RV Park.  The trip includes overnight camping along the banks of the Gulkana River and your meals during the trip.  We include either a 4 night stay in one of our river front RV spaces or 3 nights stay in both of our cabins.  Our overnight trip is for a minimum of 4 people, $600 per person.  We will provide ice chests with ice and water.  You are welcome to bring your own drinks and snacks.  The meals will include a continental breakfast each morning, sandwiches for lunch and a b.b.q. dinner cooked by the guide when you camp for the night.  We will supply the tent for overnight but you will need to bring your own sleeping bags.  You should also bring waders and we also recommend a dry bag.  Please pack lightly due to limited space on the raft.

BLM Alaska: Gukana Wild and Scenic River

Our overnight trips start the day before when you check into our private fishing club.  You will either be staying in one of our river front RV spaces or both or our cabins.  You will have plenty of time your first day to do some bank fishing from our park.  Your float trip starts early the next morning with a trip to Sourdough where we enter the Gulkana River.  We have on-site security and limited access to our park so your belongings will be safe while on your trip. The guide will make periodic stops for nature calls and to allow you to stretch your legs.  There will also be a stop for lunch around mid-day.  We provide your meals during the trip including either a steak or fish dinner prepared by your guide on the banks of the Gulkana River. 

Your fishing trip will give you plenty opportunities to catch King Salmon, as well as Sockeye, grayling, rainbow trout, and steelhead.  The abundance wild life along the Gulkana makes every bend in the river an opportunity to experience nature.  Wild life along the river include moose, eagles, caribou, beaver, bear, and a variety of birds.  The Gulkana River is prime nesting habitat for the bald eagle and you will see several nests along the trip.  It is common to see several dozen bald eagles, both overhead and perched along the river.

Our King Salmon fishing trips gives you two days floating down a wild and scenic Alaskan river.  We use only experienced Gulkana River guides who know the river.  If you stay in one of our RV spaces, you will have a full day of bank fishing.  If you prefer the comfort and security of our cabins, you will still have plenty of time to bank fish on your first day, the evening when you return from your trip, and your final morning.

When you add up all the extras, it hard to beat our guided fishing trips.  Call today to reserve your trip early.

King Salmon Guides
Our trips leave from the Gulkana River RV Park located about 3 miles north of the Gakona junction at mile marker 132 on the Richardson Hwy.  The RV Park is private and only the owners, permit holders and guests are allowed in the Park.  Our King Salmon guided fishing trips include 2 nights stay in our Park in a river front RV space. 

The 2007 season was great for king salmon on the Gulkana River.  Many of our guests were able to catch their limit from the private 750 foot shoreline of our RV Park.  Our guided fishing trips include two night in a river front RV space in our park. 



 

Sockeye Salmon
After the King season ends on the 19th of July, we offer Sockeye salmon guided fishing trips.  The 2007 season saw a three fold increase in the number of Sockeye salmon over the four year average for the Gulkana River.

Our RV Park

We are the owners of the Gulkana River RV Park located about 3 miles north of Gakona Junction at mile 132 on the Richardson Hwy.  The RV Park is private and only the owners, permit holders, and guests are allowed in the park.
