The gulkana is one of my favorite rivers! Floated it many times, last time I was there we fished our way down and found a camp site, Fished all night and all of the next day. Got a 30 lb king and many more abit smaller. Was a trip I'll never forget.

If you end up fishing salt/river deltas.....the tides there can be somewhat unreal.  We can tell you about it, but not sure you'd believe us.  :chuckle:  Had times when I casted out and I wasn't in the water, and by the time I had it reeled in the water was over my knees.  Some of the places you can walk out to the mouth across the mudflats to fish, but you might not want to.  The tide comes in so fast that you have to run across the mud to keep ahead of it.

I was born and raised up there for 24 years you'll have a blast. Check out "bings landing" on the Kenai just before Soldotna or Russian river. Wait your turn there will be crowds, most people quit after their limit and pay attention to how the locals are fishing because the water level changes daily and can affect the drift. Homer and Seward provide excellent deep sea fishing as well.
