Trip Cost

The cost for the 2026 trip is $2600 (could go to $2700). It is still a bargain, especially considering the cost to purchase wild salmon, halibut, and rockfish at the grocery store!

Flights: To manage costs, it is critical that you book flights according to the group schedule. Please plan as follows:

  • Arrive in Anchorage on Saturday, July 18th. The preferred flight is American Airlines Flight 399 departing DFW at 2:40 PM and arriving at 6:35 PM. If you are unable to make that flight, you MUST ARRIVE BEFORE 8:15 PM.
  • Depart Anchorage on Saturday, July 25th, AFTER 6:00 PM. For the DFW folks, this is an overnight flight – American Airlines Flight 399 departing ANC at 8:51 PM and arriving 6:20 AM on Sunday morning on July 27th.

DO NOT book an early Saturday departure because we do not leave the lodge until around 2:00 PM and you will have NO way to get to the airport. Here is the current flight info for those who have booked.

What’s Included: The car rental, gas, and parking, all meals from the time we arrive at the lodge until we leave the lodge on Saturday, The Salmon Run Lodge rooms, raft rental, beer, sodas, snacks, deep sea fishing charter, tips, all terminal tackle, all fish processing, and the first shipping cooler. 

What’s NOT Included: Not included are airfare, fishing license, fishing rod for the river, food at the airport, poker money, and incidentals.

New This Year: If you are a dumbass and break something, dent a car, or perform any other act that results in a monetary fee, penalty or charge to our group, you will be held financially responsible for said fees, penalties, or charges. Don’t be a dumbass.
