All anglers must possess a valid Alaska fishing license. This must be purchased online prior to your flight, as we do not sell these at the office.

While wildlife is unpredictable, we have an extremely high success rate on our bear viewing trips. While we cannot guarantee the bears will cooperate, we have a near 100% success rate on our bear viewing trips.
What gear is provided for fly-out excursions?
We provide high-quality spinning rods, reels, and tackle suited for local conditions and regulations. Waders are not required, and hip boots and rain jackets are available as needed. Fly fishing gear can be provided when applicable, and requested!
