Float Fishing in Alaska: What is the fascination?






When you are hearing about fishing in Alaska, there seem to be many options of how to do it but by far the best is the scenic float fishing trip. Whichever river you're on, floating is the way to go. When you are staying at a fishing lodge, you just don't quite get away from the crowds or really get the feeling you are "getting away from it all." When you take a jet boat, the quiet stillness of nature is disrupted and so are the fish making for a less than ideal trip. A float trip is much more intimate. You get away from all the crowds, towns, people, noise and just focus on the fishing. The fishing on a float trip in Alaska is the most productive fishing you can get. You are covering large stretches of water (but not so fast that the fish can't catch you) and because there is no motor, the fish are undisturbed by your presence. Because of how quiet floating is, you also get unique candids of the wildlife where you are fishing, which really is rare and spectacular. To start planning your own float trip in Alaska click here.
