Editorial Reviews

The Aniak River is one of the best southwest Alaska float trip options if you desire a wilderness experience surrounded by rugged peaks with opportunities to catch all five species of Pacific salmon, grayling, char, rainbow and even sheefish in its lower stretches. Beginning on a small gravel bar seven air miles from the outlet of Aniak Lake, join us for an 11 day, 100 river mile float down the Aniak River. In spite of its widely published reputation as challenging and even dangerous, you will see the Aniak first hand on our unguided float trip and learn for yourself what the river really has to offer. We wish you all the best life has to offer - and may it include at least one trip to Alaska!

GentlemenDukes,
Thanks for all the great info and Emails, We had a blast, and Rob at Aniak Air was great. Your video and book is a MUST before attempting this trip or you'll be just wasting time. My book got a little soggy during the week out there (That's what happens when you live in a raft for a week or so). Fished a bunch of spots not on the maps and alot of backwater all but 2 had fish, Got Kings, Reds, Pinks, Rainbows and Chums, saw 6 Bears all together including a Sow with cubs(3) she wasn't too happy to see us floating by and let us know with a big snort before she took off, you are right they are too fast to get a camera on them. Also saw a beautiful cinnamon colored male about the size of a mini van, he didn't seem to care, I guess if you are that big you don't worry much about anything. Him I should have got a picture of but was too busy just watching him, I guess you never really realize how big they get till you get within a few yards of them. I attached
a pic of a King I got from what we affectionately called "The HOG HOLE"
all biggies in there in they must all hang together. Numbered all our stops on the GPS for next time. Thanks again Bob V

Hokey; amateurish; low, low, low production values, etc., etc. But what a kick! All the info you need is right there, reality check about the 'quitos, rain, bears, lodge traffic, and all. It is clear the producer/anglers favor kings and they horse 'em hard to get 'em to jump for the camera, but they cover the river and the runs and native fish well. These DVD's are excellent for the real world demonstration of what its like on river in real time. They can be a bit repetitious but that tends to be because they are shot sequentially as the float progresses-- fish kings at two creeks in succession and that's what you see. The only things missing are the adrenaline 'shakes' between hookups. Oh, and here's an old Eel River "bottom bouncing" trick; instead of cutting up pencil sinkers, pinch a string split shot on a 6 lb. test dropper (or 1/2 test main line) and add or remove to depth desired; a snagged split shot pulls off dropper plus you don't end up with a pocket full of too short pencils.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Value, July 10, 2007

I have reviewed all four of the videos produced by the Duke Brothers and they are all top quality. They have enough detail to save a person many hours of research and go a long way to ensuring a successful trip. Coordinates are even provided indicating specific areas where the best fishing is to be found, campsites and etc. These videos are designed to provide a great experience while avoiding unnecessary expense.
