This family as over thirty years of experience guiding anglers on this river! There are five family members that actively guide anglers from their Camps. You will have the opportunity to fish the countless salmon pools and runs. The Chosen River is world renowned for its strong runs of King, Chum, Sockeye, Pink and Silver Salmon. These fish are fresh from the sea and quick to attack a fly. Guests also have the option of float fishing for Leopard Rainbow trout, Arctic Char, Dolly Varden and Grayling, or anglers can walk and wade small remote side channels where it is possible to spot and stalk large Leopard Rainbows. These rainbows are the most beautiful trout on earth and they are extremely aggressive. This is the best river WTA has ever found to catch big leopard rainbows on a mouse pattern, and salmon in the same day! With the abundance of nine different species of fish, combined with the incredible habitat, structure and holding water, this river is truly one of the finest fly fishing rivers in the world!

Upper Base Camp: This location is perfect for anglers looking to maximize the amount of time targeting large rainbow trout with Mouse patterns as well as wade fishing the many side channels of the river. But don’t think you won’t have a chance to fish salmon here, isolated pools and runs are loaded up with fresh fish every day. This camp is located in the wilderness area and offers true solitude and often angling days with no other anglers seen. This is the only commercial location in the wilderness area on this great river.

Lower Base Camp: This location has without question the finest chrome bright salmon fishing you can find. Catching aggressive fish still covered in sea lice will test your endurance for sure. The salmon pour into the staging pools here with the tides, providing a non-stop march of fresh fish all day. Fishing for Dolly’s and rainbow trout is also exceptional here, Grayling are also available but in more limited numbers than at the upper river base camp.
