    So much fun.

    1/2 Day Upper Trout/Sockeye II A.M. on September 20, 2026 • 2 adults

    Dylan was our fishing guide and he was wonderful. He knew so much about the river. We caught and saw eagles. It was a fun time. He even gave us information about other places nearby to go. We are definitely glad we took this trip and would recommend it to others. Just a note - it was chilly that day and I suggest taking an extra pair of socks to put on with the waders.

    Dillon was an amazing guide

    1/2 Day Upper Trout/Sockeye A.M. on July 20, 2026 • 2 adults

    Dillion did a great job putting us in spots where we caught fish even when other groups were unable to. He was very knowledgeable about where to fish and the area around the river. On our trip day we caught multiple rainbows and a dolly.

Incredible service!
1/2 Day Upper Trout/Sockeye P.M. on July 16, 2026 • 2 adults • 1 child

It was a cold and raining day. But Ron put a high light to our entire trip to Alaska. The bites are not bad, I had my PB rainbow and first freshwater sockeye. The view was astonishing as well. Ron kept the entire tour interesting in both fishing part and drifting part. Easily one of the best fishing tours I have ever booked.
