Alaska - Kanektok River Camp
All five species of salmon
The Kanektok is a fish factory with runs of all five species of Pacific salmon, plus rainbow trout, dolly varden and grayling. The river provides a great mix of quantity and variety. Their 2012 season runs from June 15th to September 1st.
The camp is situated 5.5 miles above saltwater. Downriver from camp is larger water, including long gravel bars where the kings hold, the deep channels where the big rainbows lie, the backwaters that load with silvers and the tidewater full of salmon fresh from the salt. Upriver from camp, the river makes a transition to productive smaller water, side channels and tributaries. Two anglers per guide.
