What to bring on your fishing trip
Please use the following as a checklist to prepare for your fishing guided trip.
 |
Purchase Alaska Fishing Licence: Buy now!
Important License Info: If you are 60 and an Alaskan resident, you are not required to buy either a King Salmon tag or a fishing license. You are required to have a HARVEST LICENSE, which is free. Nonresidents are required to buy a license and a tag. Residents and nonresidents under 16 do not require a fishing license but must have a HARVEST license which is free. Fishing licenses may be purchased at sports stores or retail businesses.

Food: We suggest packing food for both the road trip and for your day on the river. A day of fighting Salmon on the Kenai can work you up quite the appetite. |
 |
Packing your fish: Owner and Head Guide Dean Schlehofer will filet and bag your catch when your fishing adventure is over. We do not provide packing supplies for your catch, we suggest bringing your own ice cooler.
Heading back to the States?
Below are 3 websites of professional local businesses we recommend for packing your catch for a safe journey home.
Do-It-Yourself Fish Packing!
Local Anchorage, Kenai and Soldotna grocery stores FredMyers, Safeway and CARRS provide dry ice and wax boxes for packing your own fish. They also have published packets available for airline regulations.

Rain gear or gloves will not be provided on referral Kenai boats and Kasilof boats. |
 |
Bring Eye Protection and Sunblock: Fishing without sunglasses or sunblock lotion and your day can end in a bit of pain. Sunny or cloudy days we still suggest being prepared because in Alaska weather can change rapidly.
We suggest bringing the best pair of polarized sunglasses you have for both eye protection and spotting your fish below the rivers surface. Bring a good sunblock as well to assure a good tan for the day, and no burning! |
 |
DON'T FORGET THE CAMERA!: While King of the River posts our clients catch of the day on our website, we suggest bringing your own camera to capture the moment. Video, Digital, Film make sure you're prepared! You worked hard to get away fishing... capture that moment! |
