Al’s Guide Service runs angling trips out of Pulaski and also does estuary trips on the salmon river. Al offers to show you what the local fishery is all about.
Al aims to tailor every trip to your specific needs, so let him know what you’re after! Depending on the trip and species, you’ll be using techniques like trolling, fly fishing, drift fishing, jigging, and spinning. You’re looking at 8-hour trips, where you’ll usually go after the likes of Rainbow Trout, Brown Trout, and King Salmon depending on the weather and time of year.
Your fishing adventure starts on a 16’ Hyde boat that can safely take up to 2 anglers.
The price of your trip includes all the rods, reels, and terminal tackle you’ll need for a productive day on the water. Please keep in mind you’ll need to get a fishing license before the start of the trip.
You’ll be able to keep any legal species caught during the trip.
Book your trip now and hit the water with Al’s Guide Service.

Just got back from an awesome salmon fishing trip. We hit the water hoping to catch some king salmon, and boy, did we ever! Lost count of how many we landed, but it was a bunch. Those kings really know how to put up a fight - talk about an adrenaline rush! The best part? Just being out there. Great weather, beautiful scenery, and non-stop action. Al and I had a blast swapping stories and reeling in fish after fish. If you're thinking about going salmon fishing, do it! It's a ton of fun, even if you're new to it. Fair warning though - it's addictive. Once you feel that tug on your line, you'll be hooked

Al was very knowledgeable about the river and how to catch the Steelhead. Showed us a method we never tried before and used the next day to great success. Would recommend to anyone.

What a beautiful day. Our guide (Al) worked extra hard to put us on the fish. Unfortunately unable to land a large salmon. Will be back next year for sure. The wife and I had a great time fishing, and watching other fishermen/women fighting their catches.

I had a great charter with Al, very happy with his service and friendliness. He knows the river, put us on fish and gave us his great pro tips and guidance. If you're looking for a solid guide on the Salmon River go with Al.
