After many requests from you, our clients, and our continued commitment to providing first class fishing opportunities, RiverQuest Charters has finally taken the plunge into hosting destination fishing adventures.
Capt. Dave DeVries and Capt. Steve Kuieck will host what we hope will be just the first of many trips. Our first destination will be Bristol Bay, Alaska. This area is home to some of the largest runs of salmon in Alaska. We have scheduled this trip to coincide with the height of the Silver Salmon run; these fish are the most spectacular of the salmon family. We will also have the opportunity to fish for Grayling, Arctic Char, Dolly Varden and of course Alaska's trophy Rainbow Trout.
We have made arrangements with the Mulchatna Wilderness Lodge for the week of August 8 - 14, 2010 to provided the accommodations for this exclusive RiverQuest event. RiverQuest can provide equipment if you do not want to bring your own, or we can assist you with recommendations of what to bring if you want to bring your own.

The term Wilderness means different things to different people. If you live in Alaska, it means more than just not having a cell phone sognal.
In this case, it means hundreds of miles of rivers and streams with no roads, and few people. It means a remote riverfront setting on a river teeming with salmon, rainbows, char and grayling.
Sure, we've done our best to civilize the place by building an airstrip and a comfortable lodge. We've brought in boats with reliable Honda 4-stroke motors. We've even added a satellite phone to keep in touch with the rest of the world. But don't let the modern conveniences confuse you. This place is remote.
Caribou, moose nad bear outnumber people by a wide margin and the nearest village is a 3 hour boat ride. Don't forget toothpaste!
The Mulchatna River has several small feeder streams that provide outstanding fly fishing for rainbow char and grayling. Two of the best, the Koktuli and the Stuyahok, are within a few miles of the lodge.
These small wilderness streams offer an opportunity for the fisherman to wade the shallow gravel bars, sight casting for trophy 'bows or dry fly fishing for grayling.
They also provide a unique chance for the fisherman to tangle with the mighty king salmon in shalloow water.
If you are a fly fisherman, you are probably already familiar with the reputation of the silver salmon of Bristol Bay, Alaska. For the uninitiated, here are the Cliff Notes: aggressive biters, acrobatic fighters, delicious. Some say they have mystical powers.
Great silver fishing isn't enough excitement for you? Then try dropping an egg imitation behind almost any one of the thousands of spawning salmon and try out a few of Alaska's trophy leopard rainbow, char and grayling.
If you have ever seen the sparkle in a 9 year old child's eye as they see Disney World for the first time, you have some idea of what it is like for a fisherman when he first arrives in Bristol Bay.
Instead of endless roller coasters, Alaska offers an almost countless number of lakes, rivers and streams ull of salmon, trout, char and grayling.
One of the best ways to experience this playground is by float plane. Think about adding a fly-out to your itinerary... maybe a flight to Moraine for some trophy rainbow fishing, or a trip to Katami National Park and the famous Brooks River Falls.
