Given Alaska's unpredictable weather, it's essential to come prepared with suitable base and outer layers. Recommended base layers are wool and fleece. Please note that the following items are not included in our packages: fishing license, king salmon tag, lures, or flies.
The weather in Alaska is very unpredictable, its recommended to bring extra layers, including water/windproof or water-resistant clothes.
We are now taking 2024 and 2025 bookings. We recommend you book as early as you can to secure your reservation for your desired time frame.
Please make sure to order your license online from the Alaska Department of Fish and Game, http://www.adfg.alaska.gov/index.cfm?adfg=license.main. Alternatively, you may also purchase fishing licenses from local convenience stores and supermarkets upon arrival in Alaska.
The Tal is abundant with five species of salmon (Alaskan King, Sockeye, Coho, Pink, and Chum). We also have Rainbow Trout and Arctic Grayling. Situated in a remote region accessible solely by helicopter or boat, and facing limited competition from other fishermen, the Tal River remains both pristine and bountiful, free from overfishing.
