Our Fishing Seasons
King Salmon Season May 14 – July 13
King salmon are the largest and most sough after species that run in our streams. In the areas we fish, kings begin to arrive in early May and the season continues until July 13th. We begin our season each year with a week of what we call our “early season king special” at discounted rates. The run builds into late May and we consider mid June our peak season for kings.Silver Salmon Season July 14 – Aug 25th
Silver salmon, chum salmon, and pink salmon all begin to arrive in our streams around the middle of July. This makes for some really fun fishing and provides our guests the chance to catch multiple salmon species on the same trip. While all of them are fun to catch, silvers are the target fish for our charters. The silver run builds into late July and we consider the last week of July and first week of August to be the peak.Guided Fishing Trips Close To Anchorage

What Our Customers Are Saying
Pat was an amazing fishing guide. His knowledge of Alaska was a plus! We had a group of family and friends on this trip. Pat knew just the right fishing spots. We limited out and got to bring some amazing salmon back to New Orleans. Thanks, Pat, for making our trip the best!
There is no better fishing guide in Alaska than Pat Donelson of iFishAlaska. My son and I have made it a yearly event to fish with Pat. Pat knows the rivers, knows the best techniques for fishing them and is an amazing teacher. We have never gotten skunked on a fishing trip with with iFishAlaska, and we have always had a good time. We learn more about Alaska, see more of its beauty and we always learn a few new jokes...in addition to catching fish. The laughter always seems to be my son's favorite part of the trip (that and the snacks we bring). Whenever I have friends or family coming to Alaska I always recommend iFishAlaska. Without hesitation, I give Pat and his team at iFishAlaska the highest recommendation.
Pat is an INCREDIBLE guide and fisherman! My family and I took a summer trip to Alaska and all 10 of us caught salmon. Some even caught their limit multiple days in a row. It doesn't matter if you are a beginner or if you are experienced. If you go with iFish Alaska you are bound to catch fish!
We had such a wonderful time fishing with our guide Pat, truly a memorable time for our entire group!!! Thank you iFish Alaska for taking such good care of of us!!!!!
8/18/2016 Five stars for this guide service!!! Second time to fish with fish Alaska. By far the finest guided trip I have been on to date!! My daughter and I we totally taken care of while on the trip of a life time. The fishing guide Pat knew exactly where to take us. Even with a slow run of silvers we came home with fish when others on the river did not. Thank you again Pat and ifish Akaska.
Last summer I went Salmon fishing with iFish Alaska and it was an incredible experience. Pat knows what he is doing and there wasn't a day I didn't catch Salmon. We had so much fun with him out on the boat... He is an experienced and very professional guide and fisherman! He was so helpful. If you are wanting to catch Salmon in Alaska, iFish Alaska is the way to go. You won't be disappointed!
