But before it departs with its magnificent display of color - from the vibrant mountainsides to the crystal-clear waters below. There is yet time to admire dolly varden and char brought to hand adorned in their spawning colors, hard-charging silver to rosy red coho breaking the silence of quiet backwaters with their energetic runs while on your line.

The much-awaited fishing season on the Kanektok River is finally here! It's an excellent opportunity to catch some of the finest grayling and trophy-sized leopard rainbow trout.
As the season begins, there are specific fishing techniques that work best during this time of year. Streamer, mice pattern, and waking fly fishing are some of the popular methods and while grayling and rainbow trout are available throughout the season, this early part of the season is the best time to catch them on top water. The fish are more active, and there's less fishing pressure, fewer salmon and dollies which increases success. So, pack your bags, grab your gear, and get ready for an unforgettable fishing adventure on the Kanektok River!

Same flies, different week, and some great mousing to be had! If you are into the mouse then the trout are here for it. There are lots of Grayling and Rainbows around, and the salmon are starting to show, fun times, you should be here!
The fishing conditions should be consistent, offering abundant mousing opportunities. Trout, in particular, have been actively feeding on mice, making for some great fishing experiences. Additionally, there are plenty of Grayling around, which offer excellent chances for those who prefer dry fly fishing. Anglers can use a light single-handed rod depending on the conditions and their preferences. Mouse or sculpin flies are recommended, as they have proven to be quite effective. Interestingly, Grayling have also been knows to come chasing after mouse flies, making for an exciting spectacle. Overall, it's an excellent time to be float fishing the Kanektok River with Alaska Rainbow Adventures.

The Kanektok River in Alaska has been witnessing a splendid natural spectacle since early August - the Coho or Silver Salmon have been pouring in with each incoming tide. This annual event, popularly known around camp as Silver Mania, has taken over the river, drawing a lucky few fishing enthusiasts from far and wide to experience the thrill of catching these prized fish on a true wilderness Alaskan river. This week is particularly suitable as the river teems with plenty of Coho Salmon, Silvers love to take pink wogs patterns off the surface, especially in slack water, or stripped over and past them and the chase is on! Don't let this golden opportunity slip away, the Dolly Varden/Char, and the trout just keep getting fatter as fall arrives!
