Book your next trip with Alaskan Anglers and find out what makes the fishing in Gustavus so unique. We provide an all-inclusive 5-day trip which includes lodging, all meals, fishing tackle, fishing licenses. and fish processing. Not included are airfare, alcohol, and gratuities.  We pick you up at the Gustavus Airport on Monday, and you fish Tuesday through Saturday.  We come in early from fishing on Saturday to get you ready for your flight out on Saturday late afternoon.

You’ll be fishing aboard a 2023 31’ North River boat that holds 4 to 6 passengers. It has a heated cabin with six front facing suspension seats, electronic downriggers, an electric anchor puller (spend less time pulling anchors and more time fishing), autopilot steering (boat steers itself allowing for more efficient trolling), Avet fishing reels, pellet ice on each boat (provides a better quality fish filet), and a standup bathroom.

These waters are known for Chinook Salmon, Halibut, Coho Salmon, Lingcod, Sablefish and more – with any luck, they’ll make your reel scream.

Depending on the species you’re after, you may find yourself light tackle fishing, trolling, jigging, bottom fishing, or even fishing for sablefish using our electric reels at depths of 1500 feet.

Our accommodations are among the finest in Alaska.  Each bedroom sleeps two people, each with his/her own queen bed, along with a private bathroom.  Our chef will have you wondering how such amazing meals are available in such a rural part of Alaska.  After fishing for the day, enjoy our game room, movie theatre, hot tubs, along with bike riding and numerous hiking trails.

You owe it to yourself to book a trip with Alaskan Anglers.
