Check this outa;  https://anglerslodge.com/  I've been there twice, if you go try to hit the sockeye run.  The lodge is right on the Kenia, all you have to do is show up they provide everything including food and adult beverages  :)  Good luck!

Check out Bo's Fishing Guide Service.  Archie, the new owner is from Flagstaff.  He's been a great donor to our NWTF banquets and I have a couple of friends who have gone fishing with him.  Nothing but great things and Archie is funny AF!  Tell him NAZ NWTF recommended him.  No discounts for you and no kickbacks for our chapter, but at least he'll know you were recommended by someone he knows.

I have fished out of Sitka, AK with Big Blue Charters foe the last eight summers, August is the best for both silver and king salmon, also fish for ling, halibut, yellow eye and rock fish.  Always come home with a full limit. https://bigbluecharters.com/

Book well in advance 8 months+  fly into Anchorage and rent a car drive down to soldotna for the Sockeye run late july/early aug.. this is considered "combat" fishing but is addicting.

The fishing processors in town can fillet,bag and flash freeze your fish. even boxing it up for flying home at a nominal fee.

why do you gotta book it 8 months in advance to combat fish? The hotels are full?

Yeah most affordable hotels close to any of the actual fishing are booked months in advance. Im sure you could always find a cancelation or something but even plane tickets are $3-500 cheaper in January compared to now same with rental vehicles.. it can get pretty overwhelming doing stuff last minute
