Flyfishing Alaska, In search of fly fishing heaven
Ed Blank's ADVENTURES on the Fly specializes in Alaska fly fishing float trips in the Bristol Bay region of Alaska. Looking for large rainbow trout? Float trips offer an exhilarating way to explore and fly fish this incredible wilderness. Imagine camping on the bank of a remote stream, fishing until midnight, waking up to the sound of salmon splashing their way upstream.
These trips are fly fishing only and we welcome both novice and experts alike with patient instruction and lots of easy to fool fish!.
Our Alaska Float trips utilize several rivers in Katmai National Park including the Alagnak River, Grizzly Creek, and Moraine Creek. We have been floating these rivers fro 15 years and have great confidence in the quality of our trips. Fly Fishing is all we do, no spin fishing here.

As you probably know a float trip entails camping. You will board a float plane fly to a lake at the head of your chosen river. After that we are on our own. Although it is camping it is comfortable camping since we can carry lots of gear. We have cots to sleep on, tents you can stand up in, a screened weather proof dining tent and lots of great fresh food and wine that will rival any land based lodge. For us the camping seems a small price to pay to be living on the river with all the extra fly fishing and wild life viewing time that affords.
Our favorite quarry is the rainbow trout and we love to fly fish for them. Some of the rivers are fly fishing only but all of our trips are fly fishing only regardless of the regulations on the river. Alaska fly fishing regulations require single hook, barbless and catch and release for all rainbows. The big rainbows range from 5-12 pounds, and we have landed a couple fish in the 15 pound range! Five species of Pacific Salmon, Char and Grayling add to excitement every day. Whether you want to fish dry flies for rainbows, or sling a ten weight for a 60 pound King salmon, we feel we offer the best float trips in all of Alaska. Join us (Ed, Rachel, Jeff and Pedro) for the adventure of a lifetime and the finest rainbow trout and salmon fishing in Alaska. Experience the wilds of Alaska away from the crowds, the way it should be.
