When flying to the Midnight Sun, you first land in Aniak.
We have taken fishing vacations on the Midnight Sun, a houseboat set up for pike fisherman (and women!) several times; the fishing has been great! Tim fishes almost exclusively with a fly rod, and he has caught many 47 and 48 inch fish (and too many to count above 40 inches). Linda has also caught her fair share of large fish, the largest at 48" with too many to count between 40 and 48. Here are a few of the memorable fish, including various photos of Alaskan wildlife and scenery.

Once you fly to Aniak, to get to the Midnight Sun you must take a float plane. The plane picks you up in Aniak, on a slew off the Innoko River
