Alaska Fishing Licenses are available for 1, 3, 7, 14 days or annual periods. Fishing stamps are also required for king salmon. It is helpful to purchase your license prior to arriving to Alaska to save you time. The Alaska Department of Fish and Game has a great online site for purchasing licenses for your entire crew.
Alaska fishing regulations are ever-changing. You need to be aware of fish limits and restrictions in each area of Alaska you will be fishing in. Please contact us anytime to verify current rules and regulation information. New regulations for the calendar year are typically released by the Alaska Department of Fish & Game in April of each spring.
Alaska Fish Processing: "How do we get our fish home" is one of the most common questions you will ask if you are interested in keeping any salmon during your vacation. We help in every way possible to fillet, pack, transport and ship your fish. Our fish packing and processing page offers a concise breakdown of the options and services you will have to choose from.
Packing for your Alaska fishing trip requires you to prioritize your list of necessities, but keep it simple. It's possible to be warm, dry and comfortable without packing bulky and/or unnecessary items. Alaska is actually quite temperate in the summer so no parkas necessary! Visit our fishing trip packing page for clothing and other fishing and non-fishing accessories you should consider bringing with you.
