You hook the salmon yourself, one on one with the fish.

Full-day salmon fishing on the Kenai River and Kasilof River in Alaska puts you on a river boat with a professional guide, tackle, waders, baits and life jackets. You fish from the boat at spots ranging from a quarter-mile to a few miles from the launch, and the guide assists you in hooking and landing salmon. After the day ends, the staff fillets your catch for easy shipping and photographs it for the company's website.

The experience

The Kenai River and Kasilof River are where you spend eight hours fishing for salmon. Your guide handles the boat and knows where the fish are. You cast, set the hook and fight the salmon. The company provides the tackle, baits, fishing gears and waders for red salmon. Everything except your fishing license, which you buy separately. Life jackets come in sizes from infant to adult. The fishing spots sit anywhere from an eighth of a mile to a few miles from the launch point, so the boat ride itself is part of the day.

Once you land a salmon, the staff is there to help you unload and handle it. They filet your catch on-site so it's ready for shipping home, and they photograph it for the company's website: your proof of the day. The guide is a live English speaker who knows how to put you in position and talk you through the fight. This is not a spectator experience. You are the one doing the fishing.
