Full Day Salmon Fishing Trip

- July - September

Description
Spend a day on the river with us! July and August in Southcentral Alaska are prime-time for salmon fishing. We’re an Alaska Fish & Game registered guide service, with licensed guides that will get you on the salmon! We provide hip boots, your choice of spinning or fly fishing rod & reel and all the terminal tackle you’ll need to land your first or 50th Alaskan salmon. Depending on the time of year, and how the runs are shaping up, we’ll fish for either Sockeye (red) or Coho (silver) salmon in one of several choice rivers in Southcentral Alaska. Pinks (humpies) and Chum (dogs) are also common bycatch when we’re targeting Sockeye or Coho.
Itinerary
Your Alaska Adventures guide will pick you and your group up at your hotel at the arranged time the day of your fishing trip. We want to be on the river early to take advantage of fish that have moved in through the night.
When conditions allow, we’ll have a grill available to cook a fillet or two for an amazing fresh riverside snack.
Depending on how far from Anchorage we’re fishing, we’ll be on the river between 3 & 5 hours. You can expect to be back at your hotel between 1 & 3pm.
Notes
- Purchasing your fishing license: State of Alaska fishing regulations require everyone over the age of 15 years old to have a sport fishing license. You’ll want to purchase a one-day non-resident sport fishing license for every angler over 15. A King Salmon stamp is NOT necessary.
- A fishing license must be signed to be valid. The most convenient way of doing this is by using the check box to DIGITALLY SIGN your license during the purchase process.
- With flight schedule changes happening more and more frequently, we recommend waiting until you’re confident you’ll make it to Anchorage in time for your scheduled tour before you purchase your fishing license.
- Because we fish several places over a wide geographic area, you’ll want to be prepared for varying weather conditions.
- Dress in layers. When the weather turns out a little different than forecast, the sun comes out, or wind picks up, the ability to adjust to the conditions can make your time at the river much more enjoyable.
- Bring a small backpack or other means of carrying the few things you may want to keep available while we’re out; a hat, polarized sunglasses, water bottle and your preferred bug spray and sunscreen for example.
- Bring your shades. It can be surprisingly bright on the river, with the sun’s rays reflecting from every direction. Polarized sunglasses will help you see fish through the glare of the water’s surface. A hat with a bill can help keep the sun out of your eyes, and ease the eye strain from a long day watching the water. Both hat and sunglasses are a strongly recommended safety precaution in case a salmon lets go of your lure and sends it back in your direction.
- We’ll have bottled water, bug spray and sunscreen in the van. You’re welcome to bring your preferred variety.
- Feel free to give us a call if you have additional questions or concerns.
