Daily Itinerary

DAY 2 - Alaska Chinook Salmon Fishing
Travel to the Mat-Su valley with 3000 rivers, streams and lakes, one of our favorite fishing spots. Natural fishing stocks have been returning at a healthy rate to the Little Su river, Talkeetna river and Big Su river. It offers a fishing extravaganza! The morning is spent dealing with tour orientation needs - Check in at overnight lodging, gear up for lunch and an afternoon remote fishing trip. Fish for Chinooks, the mighty king salmon on a river in remote Alaska wilderness. (We’ll choose which river closer to time, whichever is the hottest!) Return early evening for dinner in a lake side restaurant known for Alaskan fare. (B,L,D)
DAY 3 - Alaska Salmon Fishing
Another day on the river for Chinook salmon fishing. The Little Susitna rushes from headwaters at Mint Glacier in the Talkeetna Mountains near Hatcher Pass, then slows and bends across the lowlands. From the air, the stream looks like a snake, with twisting hairpin turns that nearly double back. The lower river takes 28 miles to cover just 12 miles on the map. Those bends create deep, slow water where fish like to rest and anglers can concentrate their efforts. The number of fishing holes is anything but limited. (Again, we monitor the catching conditions and go where the fish are!) Return for dinner and lodging.
