On The Fly Outfitters is located in scenic Talkeetna, Alaska (120mi north of Anchorage, 124mi south of Denali National Park).  The town of Talkeetna, meaning river of plenty, is located at the confluence of 3 rivers; the Susitna, Talkeetna, and Chulitna.  Every year thousands of salmon return to these rivers to spawn.  King Salmon arrive in early June and are available through July 13th.  The Kings are followed by the Silver Salmon, Pink Salmon, Red Salmon, and the Chum Salmon, which are available through the end of August.  All three rivers offer anglers excellent chances to catch King (Chinook), Silver (Coho), Red (Sockeye) Chum (Dog) and Pink (Humpy) Salmon.  The river system and its tributaries are also home to a large amount of Rainbow Trout, Dolly Varden, and Arctic Grayling.  Trout are available from mid May until the river freezes up in late October.  The Talkeetna and Susitna river systems boast miles of unspoiled trout habitat.

If you are looking for some of Alaska's finest stream fishing, On The Fly Outfitters has what you are looking for.  I own and operate On The Fly, I will be your guide on the water.  I am a US Coast Guard certified captain and I have lived my entire life in Talkeetna, fishing and guiding on the streams and rivers for over 20 years.  Talkeetna is my home, so if you are looking for a guide that truly knows the area come fish with me I will be glad to show you around my home rivers.

On The Fly’s boat, built in 2002 by North River of Oregon is the finest available. The fully enclosed interior is heated and built for convenience as well as passenger comfort.  It is safe and reliable.  Our aluminum inboard jet-boat is powered by a 375hp Chevrolet marine engine, and is capable of navigating technical white water to shallow braids a mere 4” deep.  At 22’ long it provides ample room for passengers and all the gear you will need.

Because I am a small operation I am very flexible about where my clients and I fish, and the amount of time I can spend on the water.  On a full day guided trip I will spend 8-10 hours on the river.  I fish the entire river system around Talkeetna, not only the close easy to access tributaries.  I will take you where you have the best possible chance of hooking an Alaskan trophy.
