Sport Fishing guides are available in most communities in Alaska. Guide services can put you onto fish in both local and remote areas. Often called guides with boats, bait, rod and reel, rain gear, and lunch thrown in. These are usually personalized fishing tours. Widespread throughout Alaska, lodges offer top quality sport fishing with all of the amenities.
Many lodges use fixed- wing aircraft or helicopters to access remote sites.
Tackle shops, motel offices, and tour services often provide information on services in their areas as well. Prices will vary, depending upon the service requested, the reputation of the guide or lodge, and the length of the trip. Write service for information, contact local travel agents. Determine trip goals, destinations, dates, and limitations. If you're on your own and want to arrange a trip for the next day, try walking the docks or visiting sporting goods stores in the evening to get a feel for which guide or service you want to use.
