Alaska Fishing and Rafting Adventures is a Fairbanks- and Delta Junction–based outfitter that specializes in guided fishing and Arctic Circle tours across Interior Alaska. The company offers a comprehensive roster of experiences including overnight fly/spin fishing float trips, half- and full-day Chena River float trips, ice-fishing tours, trophy pike day expeditions, and multi-day Arctic Grayling fishing and camping. Each trip includes expert guidance, quality gear, and logistical support such as hotel pickup on select routes.
