Bird Hunting

Our fishing/Hunting trips are 5 night 6 day trips. We are all inclusive taking care of everything from your gourmet meals, processing your fish, comfortable accommodations, 25 minute flight to and from our lodge, taxes etc. It’s all included.

2025 fishing and Hunting trips are $5,600.00 per person.

You will fly into Yakutat, Alaska on flight 61. After the jet lands and you gather your things you will make your way over to the blue hanger located at the airport. Ben Child with Aeroexpeditions will then fly you out to our lodge in one of his bush planes.

The same people who are answering the phone when you call, responding to your emails, ordering food, making flight arrangements, etc are the same people you will be fishing and eating dinner with each day. We never want to advertise something that we are not and for clear communication in our offerings, who we are and what we do we require all guests coming in to have a phone interview with us. If we are what you are looking for then we will make the next steps in reserving you a spot!

ADF&G regulations for the East Alsek River are 4 silver salmon per day and 8 total silver salmon in possession. That's a healthy amount and typically is between 40-45 lbs of filleted salmon. At the end of your fishing day Brian or Brandt will fillet out whatever salmon you decide to keep for the day and from there you will use our commercial grade Vacuum sealer to vacuum seal the fillets fresh and then we will put them in our freezer to get them frozen before you travel home. We HIGHLY recommend you to get a soft sided cooler bag to take your fish home with you. On your way here they are easy to pack in the bottom of your bag without taking up much weight or room. The cooler bags are also a lot easier to load in and out of the smaller planes that we use. We have a soft sided cooler bag suggestion in our "What do I bring" List on our website.

When you put a deposit down for a trip you are holding your booking, so that it is available for you and no one else. If you must cancel your trip and give us adequate notice AND we are able to fill your spot with another person or group,  we will apply 100% of your deposit to the following year.  This policy is not negotiable and giving Alsek River Adventures a deposit means you understand that there is no refund,  no matter what the circumstances.  We usually only operate for 6-8 groups during a season so spots are very limited and last minute cancellations will not be refunded. 

• personal fishing rod & reel - We suggest an 8 weight rod with a floating line. Lots of fishermen use sink tip too. and many bring both. 

• Waterproof rain jacket - This will be one of the most important pieces of gear. Make sure your jacket can withstand 5 days of rain. 

• Fleece pullover or jacket

• Long underwear base layer tops and bottoms

• Fleece pants

• Waders - Another important piece of gear. We are in our waders all day - check for leaks before you come. We personally suggest your wading boots being a size bigger then what you normally wear, you want room for your toes to move. This helps keep your feet warm.
