Alaska Fishing Packages Information to Consider
Whether you’re recently retired and hoping to take up halibut fishing or you’re an old salty dog, Alaska fishing packages have something for you. Charter boats, float planes and kayaks can get you out into the Gulf of Alaska or the tiny tributaries and creeks of the back country for magnificent salmon fishing. Sockeye, King, Humpies and Silver salmon all put up a great fight as they fatten up in the cold waters.
Not everyone books an Alaska fishing package to lure in salmon. Anglers love to ply the cold waters for trout, too. Monster halibut can be caught in the deeper waters – some weighing in at over 300 pounds. Even if you don’t catch one that big, halibut fishing could still yield you a 100-pound fish, which will still give you big bragging rights. Consider booking a halibut/salmon combo Alaska fishing package for the maximum fun in one vacation.
Trout fishing in Alaska is almost a surreal experience. Rugged peaks in the distance are covered with snow. Verdant greens are bursting forth for the short summer season. Trout are swimming everywhere – in the shallow creeks, in the deep channels of rivers like Kvichak and Kenai, – even in the ocean. River trout are filling up on salmon fry and juvenile lamprey eel as the summer smorgasbord fills the rivers. They are aggressively feeding, which ups your chances of catching the ‘big one’.
Alaska fishing packages offer everything you need to enjoy the trip of a lifetime. A charter boat can give you half or whole day packages complete with lures, tackle, and fish-finding gadgets that will help you land that trophy fish. Most charter boat crew will clean and fillet your catch. Some will even package it to take home. The amount of amenities offered on the boats will vary so select your Alaska fishing packages carefully.
Lodges offer fishing trips with guides who know the area. Stand on a bank or wade out in the swift, shallow waters to toss your fly. After a day (or night) of fishing, (some offer 24-hour fishing opportunities) you can relax at the lodge and enjoy a great meal. Not all lodges are the same. Hot tubs, chef-prepared meals, and satellite TV are available at some, while others are more basic.
You can even start at a lodge and take a float plane out in the back country for a day of solitary trout fishing. Your only company will be Mother Nature. Eagles fly above while moose may rustle in the brush a few yards away. Drop-off fishing is usually done by experienced fishers.
Choose your Alaska fishing packages by your mood – do you want solitude or would you rather enjoy a group? Do you want to catch a record Halibut or would an 80-pounder be your personal best? Do you want the best fighter or pristine scenery for your salmon fishing?
Alaska fishing packages are dream deliverers – making all of your fishing wishes come true.
