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.
