A little about us.
Hello there,
We are Brandt and Kaytlynn Graber, the owner/operators of Alsek River Adventures. As we prepare for 2024, we look forward to our 16th season of commercial fishing in Dry Bay together. This region holds a special place in our hearts, as it has been a significant part of my, Kaytlynn's, life since childhood. I began spending my summers in Dry Bay at just 7 months old, and each summer since then has further deepened my connection to this place. Our family legacy of commercial fishing began with my Grandpa, continued with my dad, and now extends to our children.
Our three kiddos can be seen working and playing alongside us all summer. We believe that there is no better place to raise a family than on the beaches and riverbanks of Dry Bay. Brandt and I cherish the diversity this area offers—there is something for everyone, from adults to kids.
Situated between Mt. St. Elias and Mt. Fairweather, we enjoy breathtaking views and the unique opportunity to connect with nature, rivers, mountains and the ocean. Whether you desire a day at the beach or a chance to catch your first salmon, we’re excited to share this remarkable part of Alaska with you. When adventuring with us, we aim to make you feel at home in this beautiful environment.
