The Deshka River Float is a very mild float trip.  This river meanders through the Susitna Valley south into the Susitna River.  This is a great relaxing float for the angler who is more concerned with fishing that paddling the boat.

The Deshka River is a very quiet trip from Amber Lake until Neil Lake, with all Class I waters.  From Neil Lake to the mouth pick up point, the motorboat traffic increases but the fishing is still good.

Float Season:  May 15^th – October 15^th

The river is floatable earlier and later that this, but this is the optimal fishing season.

Fish:  All 5 species of Salmon, Rainbow Trout, Grayling, Northern Pike, Dolly Varden

Fishing Regulations: For the most up to date regulations please visit the Alaska Dept. of Fish & Game
