Voted in ADN's Best of Alaska Fishing Charter 3 years running, Alaska Outdoors Addiction can show you Alaska in ways other guides cannot! Our 4-hour King Salmon charter on Knik River is both convenient and beautiful!
The price of your trip includes all the rods, reels, and terminal tackle. Fishing licenses and king stamps aren't included, so make sure to get them prior to the trip.
Either Captain Brian, Captain Brett (or both!) will take you on a great family-friendly adventure, absolutely perfect for seasoned veterans and for those who have never fished before and are looking for a low-stress, relaxing trip on the water. The Knik River is located 30 minutes from Anchorage and 20 minutes from Wasilla. This fishery is a 100% hatchery-enhanced fishery specifically stocked by the State of Alaska to provide sport fishing opportunities for King Salmon.
The main fishing technique you'll be using is either back trolling or trolling while on anchor. While doing this, your guide will have two to three rods rigged with cured Salmon eggs and one to two with a plug or a spinner. Depending on which lure or bait is catching the most fish, your professional guide will change gear out to give you the highest opportunity to harvest a King Salmon. At this time, you'll let out your line and place it in the rod holder, waiting for the tell-tale epic takedown of an Alaska King Salmon. We will also drift salmon eggs under a bobber, back bounce, or cast spinners when conditions allow. We will do WHATEVER it takes to get you hooked up on an Alaskan King Salmon!
Regulations allow each guest to keep one King Salmon over 20 inches per day.

Although we were skeptical to take them on an 4-hour fishing trip, our boys (4 and 7) had a great time! Brian is so kind, patient and knowledgeable. Our 7 year old helped catch a king salmon within minutes (pure luck)! When the kids were getting impatient with the fishing waiting game, he took us to a beach to get the wiggles out before returning to fishing. A perfect day on the river, we are truly grateful for the experience!

From start to finish Brian kept us informed on everything that was planned out and everything that we were going to try. He has an impressive knowledge of the outdoors and fishing, and kept a great flow of conversation going. We only caught one fish, but it was still a great experience for my fiance's first fishing trip. And yes... She was the lucky angler that caught her first fish ever! Can't thank Brian enough for the experience. If we're back in the area we would definitely book again!

Captain Jay did an excellent job of getting us on a fish. It was slow but he kept changing how we fished and moving around. I caught my first King Salmon on the trip. He weighed 20 lbs. I would go with Captain Jay again.
