What To Expect

Join us for a scenic boat trip up the Chena River, where adventure, fishing, and Alaska’s wild beauty come together. We’ll travel upriver by boat, stopping along the way to fish for Arctic grayling in quiet bends and productive stretches of water. Grayling are known for their striking dorsal fins and eager bites. We wanted to make this trip fun for both beginners and experienced anglers, so while the Chena River isn’t typically known for trophy-sized Arctic grayling, it’s an excellent place for beginner anglers. The river offers steady action, and plenty of opportunities to learn, making it a fun experience for first-time fishermen and families.

As we cruise the river, keep your eyes open for wildlife. Moose, eagles, beavers, ducks, and other native animals are often spotted along the riverbanks, adding to the adventure. The Chena River offers an escape into the Alaskan backcountry, without going too far out of town.

I provide everything needed for this trip including safety gear, fishing equipment, and waders. You should bring a rain jacket and something warm to wear underneath.

PLEASE NOTE: A FISHING VALID FISHING LICENSE IS REQUIRED, AND CAN BE PURCHASED ONLINE AT ADF&G
