River Description: |
The
float begins with a short portage (approximately 150 yards) from
Boundary Lake over to the Kwethluk river. From there the River
flows west and splits the Great Ridge and Green Stone Ridge.
The upper portion of the river provides spectacular scenery and
is the habitat for Dolly Varden and Grayling. The best fishing
starts about 25 miles into the float at the confluence of the
Kwethluk River and Crooked Creek. Fish remains good all the way
to the pickup point. The river is small and very fly-fishing
friendly, offering extensive camping and fishing opportunities. |
