Road System Fishing Trips
Fun and exciting fishing right off the pavement. Kodiak road system rivers offer some very rewarding fishing and scenery. Catching your limit is still totally achievable with our guides who know the rivers better than the rest. We know where it’s hot and where it’s not.
Road system fishing trips are a fun, rewarding experience that offer easier river accessibility. The river system we guide depends on the time of year and which river system is producing quality angling. On a standard day, we meet our clients at 7:00 am at the American River parking lot and gear up with the required layering and waders.
After an informative safety brief, we travel to our different river systems. Walk and wade style fishing is highly encouraged along with relocating to different rivers throughout the day.
One river we may be targeting Silver Salmon (Coho) and the next river we will focus on Dollie Varden (Char), and the next a mixed salmon species (Coho, Humpy, and Chum). Mid-day we take a break and enjoy lunch that is provided.
After lunch we finish the day off with a hard push targeting the species our client’s desire. At the end of the day, we will rendezvous at the American River and stow our gear. Once back we highly recommend and utilize the Kodiak smokehouse to do all our processing. Of course, you have the preference to process yourself or use whomever you want.
Road system trips can be customized to flexible timelines and time constraints. Many clients with limited mobility issues take advantage of this trip due to river access availability by standard mode of transportation.
Items provided are:
Waders, rods, reels, tackle, bait, lunch, drinks, transportation, fish coolers, and standard gear.
Clients need to bring:
Fishing license, rain gear, layering, and personal items.

A short 20-minute drive south of town is the American river parking lot and you will find our staging area. There we keep all our equipment and UTV’s. The staging area is where we meet our clients and start/end our trips. Enjoy our dry and clean space to don your waders out of the rain and mud.
The road system trip allows us to access river systems by standard mode of transportation. It is for guests not wanting to ride in the UTV for 1.5hrs. We drive our vehicles to different rivers and fish.
Yes, we will be fishing around other sport fishermen.
It is totally dependent on our guests. We understand that some guests do not want to do much walking but to get you into quality secluded fishing waters some walking will be required. Other guests are completely happy with lots of walk and wade style fishing.
That is dependent on the guest’s preference and the quality of fishing. Typically, we like to hit multiple spots and fish multiple river systems. The more you are willing to walk and wade the more prime fishing holes we can hit
We accommodate that desire for many clients. We have locations that are easy to access with our vehicles and don’t require any walking. The fishing bite is steady throughout the day and has easy walking terrain. A picnic style lunch is served with chairs and comfortable accommodations to give you a relaxing experience.
For this trip we do not have a limit.
Yes, please contact us if you want a half day trip.
Yes, we commonly fish the morning bite for a couple hours and then drive our clients around to see Kodiak. We have many key points of interest on the road system that are fun and exciting to see. Contact us with what you are wanting and we can make it happen.
That is dependent on the experience the guest wants. For walk and wade style fishing then you will have to wear waders. For bank fishing we recommend wearing rubber boots. We will work with you to give you the trip you desire.
No, there are no public restrooms on any of our trips.
