Fishing the Gulkana River along the Richardson Highway.
The Gulkana River along the Richardson Highway is one of the more popular rivers for salmon, trout and grayling fishing in Alaska. Access is very good for Alaskan standards and the river is very conducive to float fishing as well as bank fishing. One of our favorite bank fishing areas is Sourdough Campground, we prefer to camp at Sourdough Roadhouse & Lodge (Mile 147.5 on the Richardson Highway).

The Gulkana River is well known as a wild and scenic float adventure but one thing that mainly the Alaskan residents know is this river is some of the best salmon fishing available that is road accessible in Alaska.
