  2. Enter your personal information and click Continue at the bottom of the page.
  3. Click Sport Fishing & Hunting License.
  4. Follow the instructions from there.
  5. You’ll receive your license in the mail, but it wouldn’t hurt to print out a copy, just in case!

Fishing License Notes

  • Assuming you don’t live in Alaska, you need to purchase a Nonresident 7 day Sport Fish license.
  • If you plan on targeting king salmon, even if you don’t intend to retain any kings, you need to purchase a King Salmon Stamp.
  • The Start Date should be the date you arrive at Alaska West, and you should pick a start time of 12:00 Noon.

We’ll see you on the river!
