Getting to Alexander Creek from Anchorage
Thinking of doing some salmon fishing in Alexander Creek in early June. Can anyone recommend an air shuttle that will get me there from ANC? Can it be reached by ground transportation? Thanks for any suggestions.

Try talking with Regal. They fly out of Lake Hood in Anchorage.
You cannot drive to Alexander Creek. It's a short (20 minute) flight from Lake Hood.

Remember that all Alaska flight arrangements are 'weather providing'. If you have a firm and fixed date that you have to fly out of Alaska or a boat to catch, you might have problems. In fact, expect delays and plan waiting time. Part of life in Alaska.
That's why some people have to stick to fishing situations they can drive to. No fly in service will promise you a date and time in or out. If they do.....move on to another one.

Unfortunately the King Salmon fishing in Alexander Creek is dying out. Apparently the Northern Pike have taken over and eaten most of the King eggs. Several lodges are saying they are closing after this year and the state may close the creek to fishing as well.
