DAY 1 – Clients are picked up by the guide promptly at 6:30 am. It is very important that they are ready to load their belongings into the van at that time. We have allowed a few minutes extra for any of many unforeseen things that can slow down the drive to Nikiski. We usually arrive at the local airport in Nikiski at or about 8:00 am and that allows for check in, weigh in, and loading the gear into the aircraft. Please be aware that weight and size do apply on these flights. There usually are no exceptions since the plane is a bush plane and is limited as to these factors. Please be sure to advise clients of this when they are making a reservation as many visitors to Alaska have never had the wonderful opportunity for a ride in a bush plane. We want it to be fun and enjoyable for everyone.

The flight leaves at 8:30 am and the pilots are very good in keeping the schedule. The airline is Alaska West Air. Flight time to the Kvichek River is approximately two hours. The scenery is nothing short of spectacular. Upon arrival at the river everyone is loaded into the john boat and taken up river to the lodge where they can put their gear into the cabin and then fishing begins until late in to the evening.

DAY 2 – Early morning start from wake up, breakfast, and getting out on the river is the activity of the day. Lunch time is back at the lodge and time for a little rest if needed before returning to the river. The fishing day ends when the clients are ready to call it a day.

They return to the cabin and each one prepares their own meal or what ever they have decided. The cabin has a full bath with shower, a changing room, nicely equipped kitchen, comfy beds, and furnished for rest and comfort.

DAY 3 – Early start again – breakfast over – gear packed and put into the plane and everyone is flown to Morraine Creek where they will fish for the day until about 4:00 pm at which time they will load back into the plane and return to Nikiski. Sometimes the return flight does not get off until sometime between 4:00 pm and 5:00 pm. The flight is scheduled to be completed by about 7:00 pm.

There they will load their gear back into the van and will return to Cooper Landing about 9:00 pm give or take a few minutes.

Someone may need a pit stop or a coffee stop or some type of stop en route. Please advise clients to remember to bring with them: Warm clothes for layering, light weight gloves, cameras, bug spray, sun glasses, sweat shirt, rain gear, any medications, and a current Alaska Fishing License. Very important: bring their food and beverages.

Where's the Fly In Fishing Cart for >> THIS trip you ask?

Great question. At this point we've purposely opted not to include this in the reservation 'store' if you will and the reason is at present we don't know for sure which lodges will be operating in our preferred fly in locations.

Unfortunately, the recession has effected us here in Alaska some too and this has caused lodge operators who normally run the lodge during fishing season to take on employment elsewhere leaving us with limited options and dates.

Additionally, the pilots who transport us in to the locations also fluctuate their prices according to the price of fuel so we felt it best to ask you, if you have your heart set on going to please-please give us a call so we can see what we can put together for you and give you the best pricing and most accurate information in real time.

There are other fly in trips available as well. Please check out our reservations pages for pricing.

Thank you!
