Resurrection Bay is home to all 5 species of Pacific Salmon as they return to spawn. Depending on the time of year, we will be fishing for different species:

May and June are primarily for Sockey (Red) Salmon, July is Pink (Humpy) Salmon, and August through September is for Coho (Silver) Salmon.

While we strive to provide a successful fishing experience, we can't guarantee a catch every time. It's called 'fishing,' not 'catching.' Our guid s work diligently to help you catch fish and typically achieve high success rates. However, the number of fish and specific species cannot be guaranteed.

Guests must be at least 12 years of age.

The physical requirements of this style of fishing include standing for up the 3 hours and walking on slippery/wet coastal surfaces.

Currently, we do not have trip options for the mobility-impaired, however it is something we hope to offer in the near future.

Always check Seward's weather, but we recommend quality raingear and warm layers since it's usually cooler by the water. The weather can be unpredictable, and since this area is a rainforest, expect some rain during your trip. Wear a snug base layer, warm pants, a sweatshirt, headgear, and warm socks.

You will also want to bring food and water as these will not be available for purchase once the trip starts. There is a Safeway located in Seward.

Yes! Our guides have methods of keeping track of everyone’s fish, even in a larger group.

You will receive your fileted fish from us in a plastic bag at the end of your trip. Processing like packing and freezing can be handled by one of our local partners at the rates they provide. They also provide shipping services.

The Coastal Rainforest of Seward, AK provides incredible wild beauty. It can also be harsh and unforgiving.

There is a small window each year that allows us to harvest the abundant salmon run, so in general, we go out fishing rain or shine.

Sometimes, the weather is just too much, and we’d all rather be inside with some cocoa. If we decide the weather is not conducive to a great fishing experience, you will receive a full refund or option to reschedule to another day and time.

Cancellations are accepted 7 days prior to the day of your trip for a full refund.

Trips canceled within 3 days of the trip day will receive a 50% refund.
