    How much would I tip for a week Salmon fishing in Alaska? River fishing if that helps. 2 adults and 1 kid.

    Leaving in the morning so any help would be great!

    It’s a free trip for me but I’m looking to pick up the tip. Any idea in dollars? 15% is only good if I know the cost.

    I was thinking $250 to $400? Sound about right? To much? Not enough? I want to be fair but I don’t want to go over board either. Keep in mind it will be for all 3 of us.

    As far as the Twins maybe they can cut the lead down to 7 by the time I get back.

    Ya, 15% sounds decent, depends on how well they do though.

    I think $250 is a good starting point. If he makes it a good trip, you learn something and it becomes priceless I would even being willing to give them $100 to $250 more.

    Have fun!

    Anything you give him will pale in comparison to living in Alaska and fishing salmon everyday. Save your money; you may want to spend it at the Alaska Bush Company.
