Itinerary

Treat yourself to something special while visiting Fairbanks. Head out on a guided float trip and enjoy good old-fashioned fishing on the Chena River. This day adventure is perfect for the whole family, and all fishing equipment is provided. Please note children under 5 years old are not permitted. Your guided fishing trip begins with pickup from your Fairbanks hotel. Head to the river for a relaxing float and excellent fishing opportunities in Alaska’s beautiful wilderness. Try your luck catching northern pike and Arctic grayling while drifting along the scenic Chena River. Enjoy a light snack as you take in the peaceful surroundings and keep an eye out for local wildlife. Your experienced fishing guide will take you to the best fishing spots and help you make the most of your time on the water, using either fly-fishing equipment or spinning rods (catch-and-release only). After an enjoyable day on the river, return to your Fairbanks hotel with memories of a unique Alaska fishing experience. Please note, we require a minimum of 4 people to operate this tour. This rarely happens, but if minimums are not met, you will be advised and offered a refund or to be rescheduled.
