Well you are several hundred miles from any salt water so halibut is out of the question. Some of the guys closer to Fairbanks will have better info than I do but early June may be way to soon for salmon also.

Halibut-Valdez closest port- Valdez Outfitters or Orion charters.
Salmon-no salmon till July 4 ish
Pike/Grayling/ sheefish/ rainbows and lakers in local lakes and rivers. Keep in mind local could mean a hundred or so miles in Alaska.
How long you going to be in Fairbanks area?

As others have said June is too early for salmon that far north. I fished the Hena outside of Fairbanks last year for grayling the 3rd week in July and really enjoyed it. I went up a few days early from our normal week of salmon fishing in the Kenai Peninsula.

Fairbanks is about 500-600 miles from the closest halibut fishing. Not trying to be a smart-aleck, but you might want to take a look at a map.

Nah, It's only about 360 miles to Valdez. Just a hop, skip and a jump - lol.

OK, really Sorry about the delay in responding. Been a little Hectic for a few days

We are flying into Fairbanks and then headed to Anchorage,Seward,Hubbard and Skagway.
I looked online and the fishing guides advertised catch, clean, freeze and ship to you, then it has “except” on Tuesday, or Thursday, or whatever the day. That day just happends to be the day the ship is in port.
We wanted to catch and have at least some of the fish shipped back home.
Its our 40th anniversary.
