Premium Raft and Fishing Gear Provided
Fully Outfitted Raft
Float miles of fishable water in comfort. Built with fishing and safety as the priority, the raft is designed specifically for guided angling. It features ample rod storage, dry storage, and a cooler for food and drinks, along with a stable, easy-entry design that makes bank access and fishing straightforward. Standard safety equipment is always onboard, including personal flotation devices (PFDs) and throw bags.
Guide Selected Gear
If we wouldn’t fish it ourselves, we don’t expect you to either. You’ll be fishing rods made in the USA and hand-finished in Soldotna on the Kenai Peninsula. Paired with Orvis Hydros reels and Cortland fly lines for a balanced system capable of both precise dry-fly presentations and powerful streamer casts, all while staying comfortable and dry in Orvis waders and boots.
