Best Salmon Fishing near Anchorage
For 26 years, our charter has been recognized as a Best Fishing Charter Service, featured on ESPN, and rooted in the local community. We’re proud to support area fishing derbies, veterans, emergency personnel, and first responders.
Our King Salmon season typically begins in early May on the Knik River—the only river in Alaska’s Matanuska Valley where salmon eggs may be used as bait during King Salmon season. Meeting locations are chosen based on current fishing conditions and regulations and may be anywhere from about 35 minutes to 2 hours north of Anchorage. Sockeye Salmon usually begin arriving in early July, followed by Silver Salmon later in the season.
Please note that meeting locations may change as late as the day before your trip, and departure times can vary depending on the season, daylight, and fishing conditions.
Families are welcome, and kids can join the adventure. You’ll fish from a 24-foot Sea Ark aluminum skiff with space for up to 6 passengers. All fishing gear is provided. Just bring your fishing license, a King Salmon stamp if you’re fishing through mid-July, and your own food and drinks.
After the trip, your guide will clean, fillet, and bag your catch so you can take it home or send it to a processor for packaging and shipping.
We recommend bringing:
Sunscreen
Camera
Hat
Sunglasses
Food and drinks
Parents and guardians are responsible for supervising their children throughout the trip. Guides are happy to assist and provide instruction, but they are not able to supervise children. Thank you for helping us keep the experience safe, smooth, and enjoyable for everyone.

Captain Ray was fantastic. Even though the fish did not cooperate for us that day, he worked hard from start to finish to give us every opportunity to hook one. You could tell he genuinely wanted everyone on the boat to succeed. What impressed me the most was his patience. We had some very young, pretty restless kids on board, and he never got frustrated or let it affect the trip. He stayed calm, encouraging, and made sure everyone had a good experience. He was also great to talk with and shared a lot of local knowledge. One of the highlights was seeing bald eagles perched up in the cottonwoods along the river. It was an awesome bonus to an already memorable trip. You cannot control whether the fish bite, but you can control the effort and experience, and Captain Ray knocked both out of the park. I would absolutely book with him again.

Nathan, thank you so much for the wonderful review. I really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. Some days the fish make us work harder than others, but my goal is always to give everyone the best opportunity possible and make sure the trip is enjoyable from start to finish. It was a pleasure having you on the boat, and I’m glad the day was still memorable even with the slower bite. I also appreciate you mentioning the patience shown with the young kids from the other group on board. Making sure everyone has a good experience, no matter their age or fishing experience, is always important to me. I’m glad you got to enjoy the bald eagles along the river too — those moments are always something special. Thank you again for booking with me and for the kind words. I’d be happy to fish with you again anytime. — Captain Ray
Brian did a great job! He was very informative for our novice group. He tried hard to help us catch fish. In the end we were only able to land one. We enjoyed our time on the river and would recommend this trip to anyone.

Jeremy, Thank you for the excellent feedback. We’re thrilled to hear your group had a great trip with Brian. He works hard to make sure every guest—novice or experienced—gets the most out of their time on the water. Even on slower days, the goal is always a fun, informative experience, and we’re glad that came through. We appreciate the recommendation and look forward to fishing with you again.
The only reason this wasn’t a great trip was due to the weather. We were out on a cold, rainy day. Our captain was Terry, and he did everything in his power to make our trip a great experience. We were really thankful for the canopy on the boat, especially when no one else fishing had one! With about 20 minutes left in our trip, my son caught a king salmon. Terry was so excited for him and made the experience truly exciting. He was a great captain and a lot of fun.

“Thank you so much for your thoughtful review! We’re sorry the weather didn’t cooperate, but we’re so glad Captain Terry was able to make the most of the day and help create such a memorable experience for you and your son. Catching a king salmon at the end sounds like an incredible moment, and we love hearing that Terry made it even more exciting. We truly appreciate you joining us and hope to welcome you back on a sunnier day!”
Beautiful scenery, great Captain (Ray). Didn’t catch fish this time, but Ray worked hard in the search and was very knowledgeable of the local area. Will book again

Thank you so much, Jeff! I really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. It was a pleasure having you out on the water, and while the fish didn’t cooperate this time, I’m glad you enjoyed the scenery and the trip. I truly appreciate your kind words and look forward to fishing with you again soon.
Captain was very very knowledgeable about all the fish where to go to find the fish answer all our questions . He was very helpful and we had a really good trip.

Thank you so much, Penny! We truly appreciate your kind words and recommendation. We’re glad to hear you had a great trip today and that Capt Brian was able to share his knowledge, answer your questions, and help make the experience enjoyable. We hope to welcome you back for another fishing adventure soon!
