Northwest Fishing Reports

Around July this year I am going to take a trip to Alaska. I was just wondering if anyone had any recommendations on which guides to go with. I will most likely be going for King Salmon.

Where in Alaska would help us out????

Anywhere is fine. I don't really have a preference.

What do you mean anywhere? You haven't figured where in Alaska your spending you vacation? Sekiu is a well known spot....

Google Sekiu guides/charters and you'll find somewhere...If you wanna have the fishing trip of your life, spend a week here:

Fly in to Prince Rupert, take a 30 minute seaplane ride to the MIDDLE OF NOWHERE and spend 4 or 5 days in a floating lodge in a protected bay and have your own boat (or go with their guides) and catch 40 some silvers a day, average fish 10-12 lbs, some up to 17-18 lbs, with the occasional king and you can always find Halibut or Lings if you wanna spend an afternoon or a whole day doing that stuff. We went mid August and the fishing was phenomenal, weather was great (calm every day, like a pond, mostly cloudy mornings that burned off to sunny afternoons)...

Go earlier in the year (June or July) and you'll get into a lot more kings...Prepare to have the best food ever prepared for you, mostly consisting of your fresh catch, and they clean and pack your fish and you get to bring it home with you. Your arms will be sore after every day.. We fished 10 foot rods with knucklebuster reels, and you can either troll cutplug, or mooch buzz bombs all day...

Nice! your a lucky man. Never acctually been but I have some guides to choose from. These are all out of the travlers guide that F&H news comes out with. Should be a good place to start.

If I were you I would plan my fishing trip around the Kenai river. It sounds like you are missing out until you fish the Kenai

I think I might try this place.

One person I have had the pleasure of fishing with in Alaska (during July) was with Rod N Reel. They are a great Guiding service that are located in Soldotna Alaska. They will take u out for 6+hours and then bring you back for a nice Homemade Salmon/halibut BBQ. They will also weigh, clean, and fillet your fish for you. Best Guided service I have ever been on and some of the nicest guys to boot. Theres a Sportsmans show going on at the Portland Expo Center Feb 6-10. Rod N Reel will have a booth in the last building. They get booked up pretty fast, so If u even want a chance with these professionals, It would be smart to look them up sometime Early on in the week. The two owners are ROD and RANDY both brothers who have worked together their whole lives guiding trips for Kings/silvers/halibut/and Reds. I would recommend getting a trip with one of them if possible, they have the most experience meaning better chances. Best part about Alaska is....30lber is a baby King compared to here in WA.

Wow, good for you. I am sure it will be a big time. I know it would be the trip of a lifetime for me. I have a rich friend that goes every year and spends a week fishing in AK and I do not think he really enjoys it as much as he would if it were not every year.

HAVE FUN!!!

yea this is gunna be my first big trip, i cant wait.
