Alaska - Katmai Nationl Park Fly Fishing

Our home base is King Salmon Alaska which is in the heart of the Bristol Bay Drainage.  Katmai National Park is where we do most of our fishing.  It is about 300miles South west of Anchorage.  The only way to get to this area is to fly into King Salmon. There are several flights a day from Anchorage to King Salmon on several commercial airlines.

Why go this far? The further away from Anchorage you go the better the fishing will be. ( although you will not find rainbows if you go north and too far west!) There are some very nice scenic float trips that start near Anchorage ( like the Talichulitna) that eliminate the need for the extra flight to King Salmon, but the number of people quadruple for that reason as well. Did you know they allow helicopter fishing in that area? During the day every hole will have fishermen in it.  Not in Katmai,   and our rafts can get to places float planes can't!
