Izavieknik River
Your trip starts with a bush flight to Upper Togiak and continues 12 miles to the take out. You will be picked up at Togiak Lake by floatplane and flown back to Bethel. This is a minimum float of 3 days but most floaters prefer 4-5 days to float.
Togiak river Float plane drop off and pick-ups at multiple locations along the Togiak provide access to the Pungokepuk, the Geichak and the Ongivinuk Rivers. Ask for pricing.
The Izavieknik River is a very remote float and one of the most scenic of all the Southwest Alaska float trip options. This is a short float by comparison and is ideal for the group that is interested in doing a shorter float or for those who would rather spend more time camping and hiking in lieu of the longer float trip options. Besides a Sockeye run that reaches Upper Togiak Lake by late July the Izavieknik offers great Char fishing along with Grayling and Lake Trout.
The fishing begins each year in early July and runs thru mid-September. But this river is better suited for mid to late summer as the spawning Salmon bring the char out of the lakes. The Izavieknik offers great Arctic Char, Grayling and Lake Trout fishing. It is a lesser known River and as such receives little fishing pressure.
