Top 4 Anchorage Fishing Trips

1.Alaskan Salmon 8-Hour Fishing Experience

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 60 reviews · 8 hours (approx.) · from $379Our pick

Review of Anchorage’s 8-hour salmon fishing trip, with hotel pickup, gear, scenic rivers, beginner instruction, and fresh-caught salmon options.

“We fished at a river ~40min north of Anchorage. Did not have a single bite all day (no fish were caught by anyone in the group). Could have done the same thing for a fraction of the cost if I went to Walmart to buy a rod and drove up there. Ryan was a really nice guy, knew a lot, and in many ways can't control the fish biting or not. However, I wish there was another element to the activity to supplement that.”

Review of Anchorage guided fly-fishing with hotel pickup, gear, expert guides, and catch-and-release fishing for trout and grayling.

“Ryan showed us a great time fly fishing and was very patient and considerate with us. He did whatever he could to try to get the fish to bite for me. My husband caught numerous fish so it may have just been me. Lol”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 8 reviews · 4 hours (approx.) · from $199Best value

Review of Anchorage’s heated-tent ice fishing trip, with hotel pickup, gear, guide Ryan, target fish, costs, tips, and booking advice.

“Ryan is an incredibly kind and patient guide who walks you through all the details of ice fishing, step by step. He shows you how to dig the hole, use the monitor to estimate the number of fish below, handle the fishing rod, and identify the perfect moment to lift it and reel in the line. These basic processes are explained in a way that’s beginner-friendly, making it a great experience for anyone new to fishing. Ice fishing is so much fun, and I learned a lot about fishing during this adventure. It was truly a fantastic experience during my winter trip to Alaska!”
