People often ask - Why is a Float fishing trip the best way to do a fishing trip in Alaska?

1. The fishing is better on a wilderness float trip because we follow peak Salmon runs across the state. We offer you the best Alaskan fishing river at it’s peak. We aren't confined to one geographic area.

2. You have increased fishing time. You couldn't be any closer to the fishing. We camp at hot fishing holes. At 5 o’clock you don’t have to stop fishing and go back to the lodge. Many die hard fishers join us for this reason alone!

3. A raft can cross or hold in water that stops a pair of chest waders cold. We can put you on the hot fishing holes, one after another all day long.

4. You can present your hook to a fish in the most effective way from a drifting raft.

5. Our rafts give you a huge range. We go where jet boats and airplanes can't. We float about 10 miles a day, just the right balance of drift fishing from the boat and wade fishing from the bank. We stop at hole after hole, all day long. It is impossible to just wade fish the enormous area we cover.

6. Solitude. This quiet way of traveling offers more opportunities for relaxing and seeing wildlife in it's natural surroundings. Our trips take you on a journey through the most wild and beautiful country in Alaska!

7. The "experience" shared by a group of people on an adventure through remote, breath taking Alaskan wilderness is something that you will remember forever. Many of our guests re-join their new found friends on other vacations with Ouzel. 70% of our guests each year have been with us previously.

SALMON RUN TIMING Some fishers want to catch certain species. Our experience on a wide variety of rivers gives us knowledge of many Salmon runs across Alaska. King Salmon season, our busiest time, starts in late June and runs through July. Silver Salmon season, next busiest, runs from August through September. Our variety of rivers extends the season on these two most popular Salmon. Sockeye Salmon are the third most popular salmon and run from early July through August and into September on some streams.

Rainbow Grayling and Char More discriminating fishers join us each year for Rainbows. The season opens June 8th in Bristol Bay, an excellent time to go for hungry Rainbows on dry flies. Late July and early August is a real hot time for Rainbows on a variety of rivers. Grayling and Char fishing is excellent all summer long. The best time of all is September and October. The fat Rainbows start running out of eggs and flesh and have to look a little harder to get something to eat.
