Phantom Tri-River Charters

Expect a professional charter that takes the time to construct a fishing trip that fits your needs. They take both reservation and walk-ins and offer both fly fishing and spin-casting fishing.

Tri-rivers refers to the Susitna River, the Talkeetna River, and the Chulitna River. There are all around the general area of Talkeetna. Guest of the charter have access to Salmon, Rainbow Trout, Dolly Varden, and Arctic Grayling.

The boats offer plenty of fishing deck space, a heated area for fishing on cooler days, and shelter if it should rain. They provide the fishing gear, but they also recommend that you bring your own rain gear, dress in layers, and be sure to bring quality polarized sunglasses. The glare on the water can be harsh and the polarized sunglasses help you spot fish, which is critical if you floss for Sockeye Salmon.

Expect professional guides who know each of the rivers very well, the local fishing status, and are adapted to fishing the fishers of all levels. These are locals who will be able to adjust your trip so that you are always where the fishing is best. That is one reason they fish all three of these rivers - You always get the best fishing area.

Overall, expect access to plenty of Salmon, including King Salmon, Sockeye, Silver, and Pinks. Also, these rivers support nice populations of Rainbow Trout, Dolly Varden, and Arctic Grayling. Because you are fishing north of Anchorage, be sure to check with the charter about when the best time to fish is for specific types of Salmon. The Rainbow Trout, Dolly Varden, and Arctic Grayling are available most of the year.
