Fly-Out Fishing and Bear Viewing
Alaska West Air is located just 10 miles from Alaska Fish On Charters and offers a number of fly-out fishing and hunting options for the most adventurous and novice anglers alike. By utilizing a multitude of aircraft, including turbine de Havilland Otters, de Havilland Beavers, Cessna 207s, and an array of backcountry capable supercubs, the ability to access even Alaska’s most remote regions is just a short drive away.
Big River Lakes Undoubtedly one of the most popular fly-out destinations in Alaska, Big River Lakes offers something for everyone. The trip starts with a thrilling 30 minute flight across the Cook Inlet from Kenai to Redoubt Bay. Eager anglers are met with stunning views of massive 10,000 ft volcanoes, expansive glaciers, and endless views of the Alaska Range of mountains before they even land. Once on the water, endless opportunities at vast amounts of both sockeye and coho salmon await. Wolverine Creek, located on the northwest side of Big River Lake offers some of the best bear viewing in all of Alaska and a very popular destination for non-anglers.
Kustatan River The Kustatan River is located across the Cook Inlet and directly west of Kenai. A short, 20 minute flight via float plane puts anglers in one of the most productive coho salmon fisheries on the entire west side of the Cook Inlet. The shallow river is traversed via jet boat and fishing is mostly done with cured salmon eggs due to the extremely turbid water and the lack of visibility. When conditions are right and the water is clear, flies and spinners can also be used with great success.
