The Kobuk River begins approximately 350 miles NW of Fairbanks, AK at Walker Lake and runs to the Arctic Coast. The fish available are Arctic Grayling, Burbot, Whitefish, Northern Pike, Salmon and Sheefish. Wolf Country Fishing concentrates on the Sheefish, the “Tarpin of the North”. The state, as well as the world record Sheefish was caught here. Weights range from 18 to the tackle record of 53 lbs. Many Sheefish are in the 25 to 40 lb. range. Wolf Country Fishing supports “catch and release”.
