Fly ins are yet another opportunity for unforgettable adventure offered on the Kenai Peninsula. We'll put you on a small float plane and fly you in to one of the many remote Alaska rivers that can't be accessed in any other way. Kustatan or Wolverine Creek, Crescent Lake, Chuitna and others. Once there you can go fishing for Sockeye Salmon, King Salmon, Silver Salmon, Trout, Grayling and more. We can also send you on a fly-in for other exciting activities such as Alaska scenic viewing or bear viewing. This can be a great choice for those not interested in fishing all the time, or offer a once in a lifetime experience of adventure, wildlife, magnificent scenery and some amazing photography.
