We were able to operate successfully for the full 2021 season and had no issues with COVID, except that none of our foreign were able to come into the USA.  Most of them elected to come up in 2022.

The weather was cool throughout the summer, as was the water in the river.  Generally speaking, the fishing was always great and so was the catching on most days.   The sockeye escapement was a little over 3.1 million on the Alagnak River, and we caught more than our fair share.  The chums returned a little late, but it was a good run once it got underway.  The silvers were right on schedule and gave us a lot of action most of the season.  All in all it was a successful year of fishing.

After not coming up in 2020 at all, we had a lot maintenance to perform.  It was a challenge, but we eventually got everything up and running.  We ended up adding 4 new Yamaha jet engines and one new Yamaha prop to our fleet.  We now have the capability to more effectively fish in the braids where the river is often low.  Our guide staff got rave reviews from our clients and most of them plan to return in 2022.  The same is true of our two chefs.  The food offerings were second to none and were well received. 

In this year of climate change disasters throughout the world, the pristine Alagnak River watershed has proven to be resilient and the place to come fish for wild fish.
