2007 Openings

June 16th - 23rd 6 openings

This is generally low water, easier wading and great rainbow fishing. There will also be an opportunity to catch grayling and dolly varden. The Kings should be moving into the lower reaches of the Naknek. Most of the fishing for kings will be with spinning or conventional tackle. The sockeye run should start sometime during the latter part of this week.

June 23rd -30th 4 guests.

The river will start coming up as the weather warms and the glaciers up above the lake begin melting. The rainbow and grayling fishing will remain excellent. Kings and sockeye runs will be in full swing.

July 14th - 21st 4 openings

Cabin #5 in open for a do-it-yourself trip for up to 4 guests. Kings and sockeye fishing will still be rolling. Bear viewing at Brooks is at it’s peak. The rainbow fishing remains excellent.

July 21st - 28th 4 openings

Cabin #5 is open for a do-it-yourself trip for up to 4 guests. Kings are slowing down. Still plenty of sockeye. Bear viewing is excellent, as is the rainbow. Dollies will be moving into Margot Creek. The silvers may start showing up in the lower river.

July 28th - August 4th 4 openings

Cabin #5 is open for a guided or unguided trip, your choice for up to 4 people. Sockeye will be coloring up, but will still be available in big numbers. The rainbow fishing at Brooks is great. The silver salmon run will be getting rolling, with silver fish coming into the river on the high tides each day.

August 4th - 11th 2 openings

Cabin #3 is open for a hosted/guided trip for 2 guests for $1695 per week. This is prime silver season. Kings are spawning and rainbows are feeding behind the spawning beds.

August 11th -18th 10 openings

We have 4 cabins open for groups up to 10 guests, for guided or unguided trips. The fishing is basically the same as it is the previous week. Prime silvers, rainbows and dolly varden fishing. This is a very sought after week in Alaska for fly fishermen.

August 18th - 25th 4 openings

We have cabin #5 open for a do-it-yourself trip for 2-4 guests. This is as prime as it gets, with silvers, rainbows and dollies at peak fishing levels, plus kings and sockeye spawning and bears in the small streams.

Sep. 22nd - 29th 4 openings

We have availability for up to 6 guests for a do-it-yourself trip. Some of the best trophy rainbow fishing of the year.

Sep, 29th - Oct. 6th

We have the entire camp open for up to 8 guests for a guided or 10 people for a do-it-yourself trip. The salmon are mostly gone, but the rainbow fishing is the best of the year, chasing surface flies and big leeches with abandon.

Again, I will be up there all of June, September and till the end of season in October.
