Thanks! I've hunted the area before (went in on horseback that time) and I watched guys lining canoes. Was considering bikes/hike in with packs and packrafts, float out. Ambitious, for sure, but if guys are coming out on canoes...

Thanks for the replies! Yes, I am aware that it is controlled use. I hunted it a couple years ago with my Dad (went in on horseback), but contemplating a bike ride in on the mining road and a float out using pack rafts. Was just curious if anyone has floated it and might be willing to share some...

Anybody have experience pack rafting the West Fork of the Maclaren River? Contemplating a moose trip this fall - hoping someone with some experience might be willing to share some pointers. Thanks!

Anybody have experience floating the West Fork of the Maclaren River in a canoe? Contemplating a moose trip this fall - hoping someone with some experience might be willing to share some pointers. Thanks!

I spent a day of Memorial Day weekend doing 8mph from south Knight Island heading back in to Whittier. We had anchored up off Knight and noticed that there was an oily sheen on the water around the back of the boat. I started to inspect and noticed that the port motor (Yahama F115 2009) was...

I'm fairly new to ocean boats and saltwater fishing. I bought a large Plano tackle box, but found it to be too bulky and still not quite big enough to stow some of the bigger jigs and setups. I know some guys like to use a 5 gallon bucket to hang their jigs and circle hooks from, but that is one...

Thanks! He measured 53". Here's a couple more pics of the country.

Thanks again for the replies and advice! We ended up going in on horseback with Joshua Hale into the West Fork of the Maclaren River valley. As some of you indicated in separate messages, that valley is indeed marshy with lots of tall brush, but beautiful as it is rugged. We had a great time and...

My Dad drew DM336 (13B non-res moose tag). I've hunted the Denali Highway a number of times, but I am hoping to give him a slightly more remote experience - something a little less combat-hunting-like. We've been in touch with Joshua Hale from Alaska Horse Adventures and the plan is to access...

Delta was pretty high going in. When we came out it had gone down a couple of feet. Hiked up Black Rapids Glacier valley 11 miles. Only saw a handful of ewes and lambs. Very difficult to get good vantage points as you hike in. As you get into sheep country there is a near vertical wall that...

Making a trip to Valdez this weekend. I'm afraid that we may have missed the crop, but thought I'd check to see if anyone had been berry picking out that way recently. Thanks!

My Dad and a friend (both from TX) are making some last-minute plans to come up sometime from mid-July through August. My Dad has been up before, but for my Dad's friend, fishing in Alaska is a lifelong bucket-list item. Would love to get him on a halibut/salmon combo charter, but wondering if...
