Ice Fishing

Go fishing right in Anchorage – whether you have only have a few hours or a full day.  Rent a gear package and fish on your own.  Or, hire one of our local guides to take you on a guided tour to land your dream catch.  You can also buy bait and fishing licenses.

Experience Alaska fishing off the grid—whether you want to fish for world-class-trophy pike during the peak summer season or experience the fabulously unique sport of ice fishing in winter. This operator based in North Pole will coach you, based on whatever your skill level, and take you to spots so special that owner, Rod Pangborn, takes his own family there.

Combine the excitement of nighttime ice fishing with the thrill of looking for the Northern Lights. Your shelter is the “hard” cabin with heat, carpeted floors, a woodstove and electricity. The cabin has its own perch on the lake, which means an unobstructed view of the colorful show in the sky.

Join this annual competition hosted in Downtown Anchorage at Ship Creek where anglers cast their line for a prize-winning King Salmon.  It’s one of Anchorage’s most exciting events - come and watch, or cast your own line.  Visitors and locals can participate! Rent all the equipment you need and purchase a license from The Bait Shack.
