Join this relaxing five-hour expedition fishing for king salmon just 30 minutes from Anchorage. King salmon are absolutely exhilarating to catch, and the party size is limited to four privileged guests.
At the boat launch area, hop aboard a jet boat for the short ride upriver to the fishing area. Here, your expert guide sets up a rod for each guest. Bait will be altered to give you the highest opportunity to catch a fish. Each guest is allowed to keep one king salmon over 20 inches. Once you catch your keeper, you are finished fishing for the remainder of the trip. Catch-and-release is allowed if you wish to continue fishing.
Notes:
Tour operates mid-May through mid-July only. Transfer time to the fishing site is approximately 30 minutes each way. Approximately four hours are spent fishing. Dress warmly in layers with a wind- and waterproof outer layer; bring gloves, a scarf and a warm hat. Guests who choose to have their fish processed and sent home (to the US only) must bring a credit card to pay for processing. A catch is likely but is not guaranteed.
