Cross a Fishing Trip to Alaska Off Your Bucket List
Is a fishing trip to Alaska on your bucket list? If you are an avid fisherman, it should be! The Kenai River contains a wide variety of fish including king salmon, rainbow trout, coho salmon, Dolly Varden…the list goes on and on. And if freshwater Alaska fishing isn’t enough to tempt you to take a fishing trip to Alaska, we also have easy access to saltwater fish in Resurrection Bay outside Seward including halibut and silver salmon. Alaska salmon fishing opportunities can yield trophy-level fish, so bring your camera!
In choosing a tour company for your fishing trip to Alaska, one of your main considerations is the experience of the tour guides. An experienced guide knows the best fishing locations while considering the current conditions of the water and where the fish are biting. And if wildlife viewing is something that is important to you, your guide can take you to locations where seeing wildlife is more likely. Some of the indigenous wildlife you are likely to see during your fishing trip to Alaska can include deer, black bear, and the incredible soaring bald eagle, to name a few.
A fishing trip to Alaska is sure to include some amazing sightseeing opportunities. Your tour operator can tailor your fishing trip to Alaska to suit the needs of everyone in your group.

The area offers ample opportunity for hiking, rafting, kayaking and boating.
At the end of each day of your trip, you want to relax and rest up for the next day. Your accommodations during your fishing trip to Alaska are designed to provide you with ample privacy for everyone while also allowing for group gatherings in the evening. Your tour operator may have a spot outside where you can sit around the fire, enjoying the beauty of an unobstructed view of the Alaskan sky while you swap fish tales.
