schedule information
Most of our trips are booked on a first come, first served basis and are scheduled after discussing what your needs and desires are in a Alaska fishing trip. You know, such things as what river interests you, the dates your kitchen pass from your wife are good for, if you want to catch kings or fall rainbows, and any other factors that may come into play. While we recommend starting your trip somewhere in the middle of the week, actual start dates change as our actual list of trips is built for the season to come, due to your needs as clients, the logistical realities of operating in remote areas of the largest state in the country and we really just do not like starting trips on weekends when most everyone else does.
Currently the 2012 Schedule looks kind of like this list below. Some trips are listed as we believe them to be a excellent time to be on that particular water, or as in the case of our Goodnews river trips, those are the dates we have scheduled for the 2012 season and are fixed by permit. Some of the trips have folks already booked on them but they are not full and they will say "available" if there are spaces 'open' that you can book, "sold out" means the trip is full, "wait list" means we are awaiting confirmation and deposits on spaces that have been spoken for, but may become available and you can get on a list in case they do become available.
Keep in mind that we can put together "additional trips", perhaps on dates your group needs for travel to Alaska that just do not work with what we have listed here. So it is best to pick up the phone and discuss the trip you are looking for with us as you will likely find we can accommodate you!

terms & conditions
-
Most ‘scheduled’ trips start somewhere in the middle of the week beginning right after June 8th when the season opens in the Bristol Bay Drainages for rainbow trout fishing
The reason we start and end our trips mid week is that it gives everyone a better Alaska experience as most operations around the state changeover on or near the weekend and resources are more available be it aircraft, hotels etc at mid week. This said however if you can only travel on the weekend please call us and we will be happy to schedule a trip on the dates you desire. All of our trips are booked on a first come, first served basis and are subject to prior booking. Unless you have called, reserved them, and followed up with a deposit they may be gone.
Trips can be scheduled for groups of 2 to 12 persons in size*, if you are a single angler, couple or pair, please ask about joining one of our existing trips we can let you know what is available and put you on our email list that keeps you up to date on availabilities and help put a trip together. Call today and book your Alaskan adventure! *Togiak river trips are limited to six guests by permit. Available spaces on scheduled trips subject to change, again please call for up to date information as it changes often.

The purchase of trip insurance is strongly recommended. In the event that you cancel or fail to participate in the trip, all monies received are not refundable.

- Prices are per person double occupancy and are subject to change without notice.
- Please call for availability / dates and trip start
and end location information. The addition of at least one
day is recommended but not required for trips starting
after September 1st due to the shorter amount of daylight
available this time of the year as it can cut into the
amount of fishing time. Extra days run 250.00 per angler.
- We limit most of our trips to
eight guests at a time in mixed groups, we do offer custom
trips and dates for larger groups traveling together.
- Groups smaller then eight persons wishing to remain
private there is a 30% of trip price additional fee,
otherwise we reserve the right to fill any trip with up to
eight guests unless you have paid for private status.
- What about gratuities for the guides? The staff and guides are tipped a lump sum that is distributed equally by the lead guide. We recommend approximately 10-15 percent of the package cost per person, depending on your perception of the service. If you have questions, we encourage you to ask the lead guide. Many people are unsure of what is customary regarding gratuities for guiding services. Our rates for trips do not include a gratuity for your guide. Our guides work very hard to make sure your adventure is a success. They strive to make your wilderness experience a more comfortable and enjoyable one. Guides aren't making Wall Street wages so always appreciate any gratuity offered.
* Extra guide and gear boat only available on the Alagnak portion of Moraine / Alagnak fisherman's deluxe combo trips.
