Fish On! From Southeast Alaska, to the world famous Kenai River, and into Alaska's interior - Alaska offers some of the best fishing in the world. Enjoy struggling to land monster halibut or a mighty king salmon, or try your hand at fly-fishing for rainbow trout on a secluded Alaska stream. You can fish Alaska from an ocean charter boat, take to a river by jet or drift boat, or fly in by bush plane to a remote Alaska lake or stream. We are happy to suggest the following half and full day Alaska fishing trips, all operated by the leading fishing guide companies in each location.

Seward Alaska Salmon and Halibut fishing
Seward is located on the Kenai Peninsula, and offers some of the finest Halibut and Salmon fishing in the world. Fishing charters leave daily from the small boat harbor, with half day and full day fishing trips available. Generally, all gear is provided but you will need a fishing license. Advance reservations are strongly recommended, particularly in the peak months of July and August. The giant pacific halibut can easily exceed 300 pounds - bigger than a "barn door" many Alaskans like to say. The nutrient rich waters surrounding Seward make it one of the most productive halibut grounds in the world. A big fish will give you the fight of your life, as well as some of the tastiest white meat you have ever enjoyed. Packaging and shipping service is available so you can send some fish home to your friends - perhaps all your friends, if you are lucky. Seward is also home to the largest silver salmon fishing derby in the world with tens of thousands of dollars available in prize money. The derby is usually held early to mid August, although the silvers generally run from mid June through August. Silvers caught out of Seward usually range from ten to fifteen pounds, but you better reel in one at least twenty pounds if you want to place in the derby. You can target Alaska king salmon from April to mid June, the state record is nearly 100 pounds. For more information on Seward fishing excursions visit The Fish House.
