Moraine
Creek, Alaska
Coming to Alaska to fly-fish is on nearly everyone's wish list,
and for good reason. Most of the species of fish found in Alaska
are larger than in most other locations and Moraine Creek is no
exception. The Moraine is famous for good reason- the large trout
that follow the sockeye salmon there for their eggs. This stream
always produces the largest rainbows of the year. You will do a
lot of sight fishing to very large shadows here as most rainbows
range from 24-30 inches or 5-12 pounds, whichever gets you more
excited.
Moraine
Creek, American Creek and the Alagnak River are all located in the
Katmai National Park and are all clear-water streams with no glacial
silt. These rivers flow out of lakes, which serve as volume controls
and filters providing consistency of the river for prime fishing
the entire season. Due to the short length of Moraine Creek, this
trip is usually combined with a trip on the Alagnak River to provide
6 days of excellent fishing.
 The
weather during this season is fairly mild with temperatures between
45-55 at night and 55-75 during the day. Rain is frequent and should
be counted on when packing clothing for this trip. Bears will be
feeding on the spawning salmon nearby offering many opportunities
for photographs.
Toward
the evening, you help set up camp and prepare dinner and unload
boats. Camp includes over-sized tents with cots and a screened meal
tent with tables and stools for your comfort. The
cuisine ranges from French Toast, sausage and fruit for breakfast
to Chicken Picata over pasta with Asparagus for dinner.
At
the end of the trip, you help break down the boats and load the
planes for the return to the King Salmon airport. By Saturday, you
have experienced one of the finest wilderness fly-fishing float
trips the world has to offer. With the abundant wildlife, wonderfully
prepared meals, and the size and variety of fish landed, memories
have been created that will last you a lifetime.
