Adventure Details

Heli-fishing unlocks access to Alaska’s most secluded waters unreachable by conventional means. Our waters are renowned for their thriving ecosystem, home to all five species of Pacific salmon, rainbow trout, Dolly Varden, Arctic grayling, steelhead and northern pike. Whether you’re a first-timer or a seasoned angler, our guides will tailor the day to your skill level, providing instruction in both fly and conventional fishing, and take you to hidden spots that most fishermen will never see.

From mid-June to mid-September — and often later — these waters come alive. We target multiple freshwater species, time salmon runs for peak action and customize each trip based on weather, seasonal patterns and personal preferences. With countless rivers and streams to choose from, every heli-fishing trip can be a new adventure.
