Togiak River

One of the finest all-species salmon rivers in Alaska. The Togiak drains Togiak Lake in Togiak National Wildlife Refuge and flows through tundra and spruce-birch forest to Bristol Bay, supporting strong runs of all five Pacific salmon species plus trophy rainbow trout, Dolly Varden, and Arctic char. The river is fly-in only, accessed by float plane from Dillingham or King Salmon, and is almost entirely within Togiak NWR wilderness. Multiple wilderness lodges operate on the river, and the catch-and-release rainbow trout fishery on the upper Togiak is considered one of the top three in Bristol Bay.
