Fly in fishing in Alaska to remote waters via floatplane will elevate your pursuit to an entirely different level. Since more than 90% of Alaska’s most fabled fishing waters are only accessible via floatplane. Getting up in the air opens a myriad of spectacular Alaska fly in fishing options. Mark Glassmaker is proud to offer several high-quality Alaska fishing fly in trip options to the West Side of Cook Inlet and beyond.

Fly in Fishing in Alaska At It’s Best!

Our fly in fishing in Alaska adventures mean one-day trips originating from the Kenai Peninsula to the West Side of Cook Inlet and a number of other beautiful destinations on the Alaska Peninsula, Kodiak Island, and other remote locals in the South-Central Alaska region. For many, fly in fishing in Alaska to remote waters is what they came here to experience: no road systems, boundless scenery, abundant wildlife, and undisturbed waters teeming with fish.

We feel at least one day of fly out fishing in Alaska to a remote location will help to round out the perfect fishing adventure. While one could fill weeks exploring all of our fly in fishing options, we always recommend our guests take the opportunity to experience at least one remote location and spend some time where there are no roads and bears outnumber humans. With our own boats waiting for us when we arrive and the finest floatplanes and pilots available on the Kenai Peninsula, we guarantee a safe, comfortable high-quality Alaska fishing experience you will not soon forget.

All-Day Exclusive Trip

For those looking for the ultimate one-day Alaska fishing experience, nothing can rival chartering a floatplane for the entire day and visiting more distant and/or multiple destinations. On these Alaska fly in fishing trips, the plane stays with you and can travel much farther distances from our base in North Kenai. This expanded range opens up a number of incredible locations, all within a 2-hour flight radius. It gives you the freedom, privacy, and exclusivity to design your own trip of a lifetime.

Of course, these incredible Alaska fishing destinations are ripe with some of the most memorable scenery in the world including bear viewing, other wildlife, mountains, and glaciers. A shore-side lunch is also an integral element of these trips capping what most would consider a “bucket list” experience.

Below are a few all-day exclusive destinations we frequent and depending on the length of the flight, weather, etc., it is often possible to visit more than one destination in the day.
