Chosen River Outfitters

FreshwaterWestern Alaska — Kanektok River, Pegati Lake to Quinhagak

No website of its own; details from booking agents: this page is built from the agencies and other pages listed under Sources, not from the lodge's own website.

Instead of a lodge, Chosen River Outfitters offers a guided week by raft down the Kanektok, from its headwater lakes in the Togiak National Wildlife Refuge to the village of Quinhagak, pitching camp on a new gravel bar each night. Anglers fish from the rafts and on foot for rainbow trout, Dolly Varden, char and grayling, plus whatever salmon are in the river at the time. A group is about six guests, with two guests and a guide to each raft.
