Alaska Private Guide Service Pike Fishing Trips

Alaska Pike Fishing Information

Alaska Fishing Trips APGS has been guiding anglers in Alaska since 1987. We have several fishing trips to offer with a variety of locations, species, dates, lengths and prices. You can fly fish or spin cast. All trips are very remote, wilderness trips and provide everything but your personal gear. Each trip is detailed below. We start fishing May 31st and end Oct 1.

We have 2 Pike fishing trips. Both trips are in the interior and based out of Fairbanks.

Trip Options

Minto Flats and Tolovana River

You will fly into Fairbanks and then take a 30 minute float plane ride to the Tolovana River and land right in front of camp. We operate prop boats to get from the camp to the fishing areas. The trip is available from June 1-17. This is the cheapest trip because it is less costly to get into and out of camp and therefore lends itself to shorter trip. Even then it is not cost effective for a 1 day trip. The big pike in this area are generally less than 40 inches. Sometimes the sheefish are there, sometimes not. 24 hours of daylight means you can fish whenever and however long. Generally excellent weather. The tents we utilize here are large free standing tents with heavy duty zippered doors. You can stand up inside them. They have plenty of ventilation to handle the long sunny days. They have rollo cots and thick foam pads and sleeping bags. The separate cook tent has all we need to prepare al of our meals. All you need is your personal gear. We have a permafrost cooler to keep the drink cold. The 24 hours of daylight allow us to fish anytime we wish. The weather is generally excellent. Rod and reels can be supplied at additional cost. You bring your own alcohol if desired. We are actively black bear hunting during this time, so there very well may be hunters in camp depending on which camp they are hunting from. -- top

Yukon River Tributaries Giant Pike

You will fly into Fairbanks and then take a scheduled village commuter flight (about 1 hour) to the nearest pick up point. From there we will run the big prop boats with a _ enclosed cabin to camp. This trip is available from June 17 to July 1. The cost of getting into and out of camp is not cheap and therefore you’ll want to schedule several days. The giant pike here will be 45-50+ inches. The chances of landing one or more in this size range is excellent. Sometimes the sheefish are there and sometimes not. Just the way they are. When they are there, they travel in schools. So when it is hot it is hot. And the best time is at midnight. 24 hours of daylight. Generally excellent weather. Bring sun tan lotion. -- top
