Denali Fly Fishing Guides

The focus here is on quality fly fishing for Arctic Grayling. These are super fun small fish that make fly fishing a joy. Grayling typically are in the 1-3 pound range with a big on at 3 pounds. They are smart and wily which is what makes them so fun.

Grayling are mostly top feeders, so a nice dry fly presented well usually means "fish on." The area around Cantwell, Ak, is a natural environment that produces a lot of Grayling. The rivers here are fast flowing and usually shallow. By mid summer the water has slowed as the glacial runoff becomes more manageable. This is the best time of year to fly fish here because the aquatic insects are busy dropping eggs back into the water and they make a feast for the Grayling and Rainbow Trout. The wide and shallow rivers create riffle after riffle which is a prime spot for insect nymphs to feed and grow. All of this comes together to make fly fishing here insanely delicious.

Expect to be taken care of as they provide you with everything you need to enjoy a fly fishing adventure. They offer a variety of trips including float trips, half-day, full-day, and multi-day trips.
