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. If the Alaska Dept. of Fish & Game allows retention, Beginning in late June we start fishing for King Salmon on the Little Susitna River
During different seasons we meet at multiple locations based on fishing conditions & regulations. From 35 min - 2 hours north of Anchorage.
Location can change up to the day prior to your fishing trip.
Starting in mid July, as the king season starts to slow down, we start catching Sockeye Salmon, Silver Salmon, and Chum Salmon. Also, our guests often see Alaska Moose, Bald Eagles, Beavers, Otter and an occasional bear meandering by. Towards the end of August, we expect to do mostly catch n release from then on.
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.
