Guided Trips
Customer service is our number one priority at the Hook Up. Unlike some of the
outfits in town, we are determined to give our fly fishermen the attention they
require. Our policy is that we typically do not send a guide out with more than three
clients and prefer only two. If there is only one person who wants to go that day we
often do that as well. If you have a larger group we would be more than happy to
accommodate your party with proper client, guide ratio.
We practice only careful catch and release during our guide trips. We offer our fly
fishermen the opportunity to fish on the Ketchikan road system or conduct fly out
trips to various locations. Even if you do not plan on fishing with our guides we
strongly recommend that you contact us before you book a trip in the Ketchikan
area. We operate on a USDA National Forest Service permit. We also have
some limited private access.

Fly Out Trips
The best opportunity to catch a lot of fish when the salmon are not running is to
book a fly out trip. There are literally hundreds of lakes and river systems within a
short flight from Ketchikan. The fishing is outstanding. The trout are extremely
aggressive and can be caught on everything from a mouse to a prince nymph.
There are also a few lakes with Arctic grayling which love to take dry flies. Fly outs
are also a good option because they allow the fishermen an opportunity to see
more of the Misty Fjords National Park. The scenery is truly amazing. Fly outs are
more expensive than our road trips but the cost is not out of reach for most
visitors.

Road System Trips
Road system trips are certainly the least expensive of the guided excursions and
are very productive. The trout fishing is good and the salmon fishing is fantastic
when they're running. Many of the people that travel to the Ketchikan area are
looking to get out into the wilderness. We can certainly accommodate, but if that
is what you are looking for, you want a fly out trip. Fishing on the road system
can also be outstanding but we don't get too far away from civilization. Fishing in
Ketchikan is nothing like the combat fishing you will find on the Kenai. It is not
even close. There are rarely people encountered during our road system trips,
even though we are often within a mile of road.

Guides
Our guides are very experienced fly fishermen and are both knowledgeable and
courteous. Each are licensed through the Alaska Department of Fish and Game
and are CPR and first aid certified for your safety. We typically have only 3 regular
guides working from our shop, so booking trips early is important.

Rates
Road System Trips are the least expensive at $225.00 per person for four hours of
fishing. Beyond the initial four hour period it is an additional $40.00 per hour per
person. So, for instance, a six hour fishing trip for one person would cost $305.00.
Because of the cost of the airplane, fly outs are our most expensive trips. We have
destinations that start at $500.00 for the flight. So, for example if one person
wanted to go on a five hour fly out trip to one of these closer locations, their cost
split the $500.00 of flight time and each pay the $225.00 guide fee. Their total
would be $500.00 each. Note: Tips are greatly appreciated and the above
prices do not include the gratuity for your guide.
