Packages and Guides
For starters, we have a variety of packages that cover different budgets. In some instances, you won’t have to worry about getting to your fishing destination since some of our packages include transportation via floatplane to remote streams.
We will also pair you with an expert guide. If you are new to the area or new to salmon fishing, guides are a great resource. They will educate you on the fish, the area, wildlife, and any other question you may have regarding fishing in Alaska. So just ask!
Where You Will Be Fishing
By the time you head back home, you should become pretty familiar with the Bristol Bay watershed. It’s where you will get a lot of your fishing done. The Bristol Bay acts as an entrance to the Katmai National Park. Also out our back door, you can go fishing on the world-famous Naknek River which hosts the world’s largest Sockeye Salmon run. This river begins at Naknek Lake and stretches to the Kvichak Bay, some 35 miles away.
