Welcome to the Ultimate Alaska Fly-In Experience

We’ve been providing remote, all-inclusive fishing trips at Becharof Rapids Camp for nearly 25 years. Many of our guests come back year after year because we treat you like family and provide a stress-free adventure.

Our unique low-profile terrain and sandy gravel shorelines make it incredibly easy for anglers of all ages and skills to wade and catch fish-after-fish. No high-stress canyon wading here—just pure, beautiful fly and spin casting on the banks of a wild Alaskan river.

Plan with Confidence

An Affordable Trip of a Lifetime

Most remote fly-in lodges around King Salmon start between $6,000 to $10,000 per person.

We believe exceptional fishing should be family-friendly. By maintaining our own floatplane operations and running a relaxed, streamlined camp, we provide an unmatchable Bristol Bay wilderness adventure at a fraction of the cost.

Hassle-Free Booking Process

Secure your date with a 50% deposit. The remaining balance is processed by May 1st before the summer season kicks off.

50-100 lbs of Vacuum Sealed Salmon

Take home your pristine catches. Our guides fillet, vacuum-seal, freeze, and carefully box your salmon to survive the flight back home.

Owner-Operator Guided

Owner Dave Mandich oversees the entire camp operations, ensuring the cooking is perfect and your fishing is stellar.
