Fishing Guide Jobs in Alaska
6 open listings · updated Oct 29, 2026
Fishing Guide jobs in Alaska, listed as employers post them and as we find them on employers’ own career pages. Fishing guides earn a day rate or monthly wage plus tips; one Colorado outfitter lists $185 to $425 a day, and Montana licenses guides only with an outfitter’s endorsement. Alaska deckhands need an ADF&G crewmember license ($60 resident, $220 nonresident a year in 2026), and sport fishing guides register with ADF&G for free each year.
More About Fishing Guide Jobs in Alaska
Each fishing guide listing in Alaska shows the season dates, whether housing and meals are included, the pay when the employer states it, and how to apply directly to the employer. There is no application fee and no recruiter in the middle: the apply link goes to the outfitter, ranch, lodge, agency or crew that is hiring. Listings an employer posts directly are checked by a person before they go live; listings we found on public career pages are marked until they have been checked, so confirm the details with the employer before you travel. Recently filled fishing guide positions in Alaska stay visible below the live listings so you can see which employers hire and when.
