    Alaska Fishing Packages FAQs

    What is included in my Alaska Fishing Package?

    Your package will include the number of full days of fishing specified in the package. Lodging is at the Silvertip Lodge and Cabins in Soldotna, in a 1-2 bedroom cabin with full kitchen, living room, laundry, and private bathroom facilities. There is also WiFi, a Fire Pit, and Fish Processing facilities at Silvertip.

    What do I need to bring?

    When packing for Alaska there are some things that you are going to want to bring with you. These items include layers of clothing, rain gear, sunglasses, camera, medications, sun screen, mosquito repellent, cash, headlamp, knife, and other personal items. If you will be fishing on your own, you’ll want to pack your waders and a rod & reel setup. We highly recommend buying your flies, terminal tackle, and lures up here locally after you arrive so you can make sure to get what works up here. Try to pack it all in one bag for easy traveling.

    How do I get to Silvertip Lodge and Cabins?

    Silvertip Lodge and Cabins is located about a 3-hour drive from Anchorage in Soldotna on the Kenai Peninsula. Click here for more directions on Google Maps.

    How do I get my fish home?

    You are going to want to get your salmon vacuum sealed and frozen soon after you catch it. You can do this on your own or take it to a processor. At Silvertip we have a vacuum sealing and freezer room that makes it quick, easy, and much less expensive than taking it to the processor. When it is time to go home you can have the processor ship it OR you can put it in a fish box and take it under the airplane for the cost of a baggage fee. The fish boxes have a styrofoam insulation insert with a cardboard shell and will keep the fish frozen for up to 30 hours. Local stores sell boxes to accommodate different weights of fish to comply with airline weight limits. We recommend packing it to 49lbs by the time you are done so you don’t have to open the box at the airport and reduce the weight.

    How much fish can I bring back from Alaska?

    There is no set limit on how much fish you can bring home from Alaska, however, there are daily and yearly limits for different species.

    • "Jeremy is AWESOME. He knows his river, where and how to find the fish. He has also secured great referral partners for halibut fishing and float plane fly-in trips. Every aspect of this trip exceeded our expectations. 7 people, 5 days, 350 lbs of halibut and salmon and none of us would be considered expert fishermen. Only 1 of our group had ever been to Alaska before. If I could give Alaska Drift Away Fishing 6 stars I would. If you are going to the Kenai Peninsula for fishing, call Jeremy you will not be sorry."

    • "Our group had an awesome experience with Alaska Drift Away Fishing!!! The accommodations were excellent and accessible. The trips were well-coordinated and communicated to us. We crushed fish all week and had a blast. Huge shout out to Nick who got us on the Kings all while having a blast out on the river. We'll definitely be coming back!!!"

      Todd M - Trip Advisor Review

    • "I've always wanted to go to Alaska and fish for Salmon. With very little research and some very good luck, I landed upon the Alaska Drift Away Fishing website. What I experienced with my son and my brother exceeded my expectations. Five nights in a great cabin and 4 days of great fishing. Kings, sockeye, halibut, and rainbows. I never thought I'd see or certainly ever catch a 28-inch rainbow but Nick - our guide showed us the right technique in the right place at the right time. Jeremy put us on to Kings when conventional wisdom said they were not around anymore! Overall great experience!"

    • "We had a blast with Alaska Drift Away Fishing! The cabins were clean, comfortable, and had many amenities. We came up for 5 days in July and came back with almost 300lbs of fish to hit the freezer! Jeremy, Nick, and Nigel are top notch when it comes to fishing guides in Alaska. They truly enjoy what they do, and enjoy sharing their passion with their clients. Whether you're an experienced angler or never fished a day in your life, Alaska Drift Away Fishing will be an experience you will never forget."

      Ryan E - Trip Advisor Review
