Our Charter service has been voted "Best Fishing Charter Service" for 24 years. Featured on ESPN, we contribute to the local fishing derbies, and we are a big supporter of the veterans and all emergency & first responders.

In early May we start fishing the Knik River for King Salmon. The Knik River is the only river in Alaska’s Matanuska Valley that allows the use of Salmon eggs for bait during King Salmon season. During different seasons we meet at multiple locations based on fishing conditions & regulations. From 35 min - 2 hours north of Anchorage.
►►Please keep in mind that the location for the meeting point can change up to the day prior to your fishing trip.

Families making a day of it will be glad to know that kids are welcome aboard!  You'll be fishing aboard a 24' Sea Ark Aluminum fishing skiff with space for 6 passengers. No need to bring any equipment. Each fishing charter comes fully equipped with everything you need. So the only thing you’ll have to bring is your fishing license (a King Salmon stamp is also needed when fishing through mid-July), food & drink. Also, filleting your fish is included and your guide will put it in bags for you to take home or to a processor for packaging and shipping. 

We suggest bringing sunscreen, a camera, a hat, sunglasses, drinks, and food.

Parents and Guardians are Responsible for watching over their children.
For the safety and enjoyment of everyone, please remember that you are responsible for your children during your trip. Guides are here to inform and assist, but they cannot supervise or care for your children. Please ensure they follow the rules. Thank you for helping us make this a safe and pleasant experience for all!
