Outing Highlights
Custom 24' Welded Jet Boat
Trips operate from a 24-foot custom welded jet boat handled by a professional, licensed guide—gear, rods and tackle (including bait) are provided so you can focus on fishing.
Salmon-Focused, Catch-and-Keep
The charter runs during peak salmon times with the aim of putting anglers on their limit; fishing concludes when the last person keeps their catch, and the guide fillets your catch at trip’s end.
What’s Included — and What Isn’t
The rate covers guide service, the boat, life jackets for all ages, and fishing tackle; it does not include the Deshka Landing $10 parking fee, Alaska fishing license, or king salmon stamp when required.
What the day feels like
How the Half-Day Feels
The rhythm is straightforward: a dock-to-dock, six-hour outing centered on salmon runs and timed around peak bite periods. With tackle and bait supplied and a licensed guide at the tiller, most anglers spend the day focused on casting and landing fish; the trip wraps when the party has landed their fish and the guide prepares fillets for the ride home.
