Heading for AK

[Steps]

Those dates should be good, as the others have said. I have fished all over Alaska and loved every trip. You will deal with mosquito's like you have never seen before, so do prepare for that like everyone else said. And if you do not have quality rain gear, get some.

You can also package fish filet's using a food saver if you have one, freeze it then pack it in Styrofoam lined fishing boxes with some ice and take fish back on the plane. I did that every year I went up there and usually came home with 100 lb's of Halibut and Salmon filet's (use one box per 50 lbs. due to the airline weight reg's). You do have to pay for each box as an additional bag, but the cost is well worth it. When I would get home the fish was always still frozen.

Have a great trip!

Got our cabin in Ninilchick. Capt said the skeeters arent' that bad on the coast areas.
Looking forward to some salmon and halibut.
Now gotta book the flight, rental car. AK Air? any one got better rates, been looking and it's driving me nuts.

I'm envious, would like to go back there. Hope you have a great time!

I spent 3 weeks in Ninilchik with a friend who had a cabin right on Deep Creek. Great place, fished every day and caught silver salmon, steelhead, arctic char and Dolly Varden. Also collected mussels on the beach. Mosquitos weren't bad around Ninilchik. My friend had a moose tag so I went on a hunt up creek with him. Didn't find a moose but we ran into a family of mink and a couple brown bears. I lived on fish throughout my 3 month solo motorcycle trip throughout Alaska and western Canada. This was a morning's catch....
