Fly-out Fishing with Alaska West Air

All of our fishing trips are fully guided, unless otherwise stated. All rods, reels, bait and hip boots are included. Fly-fishing equipment is NOT provided, although most guides will provide appropriate flies if given notice that you will be using you own fly-fishing gear. Clients need to bring rain gear and lunch*.

Fly-in fishing trip

The quickest way into the Alaska wilderness is from an Alaskan floatplane. Alaska West Air™ wastes no time in getting you to your destination and thus into the fishing you are after. A fly out fishing trip separates you from the crowded roadside streams and opens up a new dimension to the term “Alaska fishing” that many anglers just never venture to experience. Traveling beyond the limited boundaries of highways into the remoteness of the Alaska back country, you will soon discover the seemingly limitless bodies of water teaming with bright fish all the time surrounded by rugged Alaskan beauty. This is Alaska, immense, magnificent and humbling all at the same time. These are the trips that dreams are made of.

Planning your Alaska Fishing Trip.

Choosing your destination and planning the trip are just part of the fun, but it’s what you do after you arrive that makes the trip a memory. Here at Alaska West Air™ we offer something for everyone. There’s full day and half day trips to fit most all budgets and for those that just can’t seem to get enough, there are overnight and longer stays, drop off float trips on remote rivers and streams, and remote Alaska fishing lodges.

Species vary with location and time, they consist of the five main species of Alaska salmon, rainbow trout, lake trout, grayling, pike, arctic char, and sheefish (inconnu). Prince William Sound also has some excellent runs of sea run cutthroat trout.
