Fishing Daytrips

6 hour Guided Salmon Fishing - $130 per person
This is the standard guided fishing trip purchased by most of our guests. Our Alaska king salmon fishing season runs from May 10 -- July 13, and trips for silver, sockeye, chum, and pink salmon are scheduled from July 14 -- September 10. By regulation, only artificial lures may be used during king salmon season on all streams we fish except the Deshka River, and we also fish artificial lures or flies to reduce hooking mortality when catch and release fishing. Trips are scheduled to last a full 6 hours, or until each guest has caught / kept a limit of salmon, whichever occurs first. Seriously injured fish (guide's judgment) will be kept as part of the daily bag limit. All fishing ends when the last member of a party keeps their daily bag limit. Alaska fishing regulations will be followed.

8 hour Guided Salmon Fishing (groups of 4 or more anglers) - $170 per person
This trip provides 2 additional hours of guided fishing and, consequently, a better opportunity to catch more and / or larger salmon. This is a popular option for king salmon anglers who have a limited number of days to fish, and want to increase their chances of catching trophy-sized fish. When a group of 4 - 6 guests chooses our 8 hour trip, we have the option of fishing additional rivers including the Deshka River (where you can fish bait for king salmon) and other tributaries of the Susitna River.
Same stipulations as on our 6 hour trips apply.

Midnight Special (4 or more anglers - 8 hrs) - $250 per person
**MAY BE AVAILABLE  from June 23 - June 30, 2008**
Fish all night under Alaskašs midnight sun on our most extreme fishing trip. We schedule our 8 hour Midnight Special to run from 8 p.m. until 4 a.m. This is a Deshka River king salmon trip guided in June or early July at times when fishing is open 24 hours per day. The Midnight Special provides guests an opportunity to harvest two daily king salmon bag limits on the same trip (one limit before midnight and one limit after) and also allows fishermen to fish the magic evening and early morning hours with the least fishing pressure on the river. For scheduling reasons this uniquely Alaskan trip has our most limited availability, so please call NOW for best selection of prime fishing dates.

Boat Charters - $520 for 6 hours or $680 for 8 hours
A boat charter gives your group exclusive use of the guide and boat for the specified length of time.  Prices are based on groups up to 4 people in size.  You could add additional people to your trip at our normal per seat costs of $130 for 6 hours or $170 for 8 hours.

Drop Off Fishing - $50 per person / $100 Minimum
We run you up or down Little Susitna River to a prime fishing and/or camping spot, and then you are on your own until we come back and pick you up at the appointed time.  You supply your own gear.  Drop off prices are for a round trip, and drop offs and pickups are scheduled during hours we are not running guided trips.  Our large guide boats comfortably carry lots of gear (even canoes or rafts), but additional trips for excess gear will cost extra.  Drop offs trips can be scheduled as daytrips or camping trips with a later pickup date.

4 hour Guided Winter Ice Fishing - $75 per person
Trip includes resident Alaskan guide, ice fishing rods, reels, tackle, bait, and ice fishing tips and will be run on one of several Mat-Su Valley Lakes.  Fish for rainbow trout, Dolly Varden - Arctic Char, king salmon, or silver salmon. Our Alaska ice fishing season runs from late November to early April.
