2008 Part 5: AK - Gulkana
























As expected, the Gulkana was high like every other river in AK. It really didn't matter though, and as expected, it was full of hungry Arctic Grayling eager to take a dry fly. It is home to one of the Northernmost populations of Rainbow Trout in the world, and they are a beautiful gold color in the Fall. 

There is one short Class III/IV canyon the Gulkana, but it's a pretty mild river overall. We had complete privacy, with only the company of Bald Eagles, Caribou and bear that call the river home. It was a great week on the river.
