THE ADVENTURE

If you enjoy wild country, join Hank and Carol Fischer and their son Andy on a five-day fishing/wildlife adventure down Alaska’s “wild and scenic” Talachulitna River.  It’s been called “The River of Kings” because of its healthy run of huge king salmon.  They average about 25 pounds and the largest will go more than 60.  We’ll float for more than fifty miles on a largely gentle river (two canyons with modest whitewater provide some excitement) that is wadeable for its entire length. 

Andy Fischer has guided on the Tal for the last three years, and he knows all the best fishing spots and all the great campsites.  We will supply river equipment (three inflatable rafts), tents, sleeping bags as well as first-class outdoor meals. 

 The trip starts in Anchorage with a 30-minute float plane trip over tundra, marshes and mountain tops until we reach Judd Lake, where the Tal originates. Nestled in the heart of the snow-capped Alaska Range, the Tal offers great wildlife watching as well as world-class fishing.  Expect to see bears, beaver, eagles, moose and maybe an otter or a wolf.  Whether you are a serious fishing person or just a lover of wild places, come join us for an incredible small-group wilderness adventure.
