Alaska Outdoors Addiction – C&R King Salmon!

Leave the crowds behind! Alaska Outdoors Addiction strives to make each trip the one their guests will never forget. This is an Alaskan-owned and operated small business that pays a lot of attention to safety. The crew always guarantees a safe and exciting experience and they’re making the extra effort to make your dream fishing trip come true.

You’ll be fishing on a 21’ Wooldridge boat that accommodates up to 4 guests. This jet boat is powered by a 150 HP Honda engine and offers a smooth and fast ride. The vessel is also wheelchair accessible.

While this trip is catch and release only, this is not the Kenai where you will sit in the boat for maybe a bite or two in an 8-hour day. In 2022, their guests averaged 3 king salmon to the net per person per trip and their best day saw 57 king salmon to the net! Alaska Outdoors Addiction is expecting the same if not better results for 2023 and cannot wait to have you on the water! The crew utilizes many different techniques, from casting and retrieving plugs and spinners to power trolling, back trolling, back bouncing, and fly fishing.

Discover what Alaska really is. Alaska Outdoors Addiction welcomes you aboard.

Note: Departure location is 29691 W Deshka Landing Road Willow, Alaska 99688.

Born, raised, and year-round residents of Anchorage, Alaska, we grew up on the water fishing with our dad. As soon as I started running the boat at age 4, I knew I wanted to share the beauty of the Alaskan wilderness with folks from around the world.
