    AWESOME EXPERIENCE

    Half Day Trip – Walk and Wade on June 26, 2026 • 2 adults

    Here’s a polished version that keeps your enthusiasm while making it more concise and professional: My wife and I went on our first-ever fly fishing trip, and it was an incredible experience! Dan was an excellent instructor—patient, knowledgeable, and great at teaching beginners. The fish weren’t biting much that day, but everyone still managed to catch one, which made the experience even more rewarding. The wildlife was just as memorable. We saw a mother moose with two calves, a porcupine, a mother duck with five ducklings, and two bald eagles. The reindeer sausage for lunch was a pleasant surprise and absolutely delicious. Adam, the owner, was outstanding. He answered every question we had and went above and beyond to accommodate my disabilities, ensuring I could fully enjoy the trip. His kindness and commitment to providing a great experience did not go unnoticed. This was an unforgettable adventure, and I highly recommend it to anyone—whether you’re an experienced angler or trying fly fishing for the very first time!

    Great walking / wading trip

    Full Day Trip – Walk and Wade on August 20, 2026 • 1 adult

    The Guide (Sully) was great. He got me on Silver and Chum Salmon at our first stop. He did a thorough job coaching me on fly fishing, how to cast, where to cast for the best presentation, and how to set and land the fish. We had a good time exchanging fishing stories. He took me to another river where he made lunch (Raindeer brats) and to get some Grayling. We were on fish instantly. Highly recommend The Fishound and Sully as a service and guide.

    Wonderful half day on the water with Ryan!

    Half Day Trip – Walk and Wade on May 11, 2026 • 1 adult

    Booked a half day wade trip in early/mid May. I knew it was a bit early and didnt end up catching any fish. Didn’t matter. Ryan, my guide, was great and gave me a few casting tips I can take back with me. He knew what he was doing but the water was just a bit too cold. Would book again!

    Wonderful Fishing Experience!

    Full Day Trip – Float on July 6, 2025 • 1 adult

    I had a great all- day trip on the Little Willow fishing for "Leopard" rainbow trout. I'm a beginner at fly fishing but my guide, Carson, made it easy for me by constantly positioning the raft for easy casts to good spots. We tried several different presentations to see what worked best: dry flies, nymphs with a float, streamers, and streamers with a float. I caught several trout and I hooked but lost several others, including a grayling. Those Leopard rainbows are crazy wild fish - not easy to land! On top of the great fishing, I was treated to caribou sausages for a hot shore lunch! Carson seemed willing to spend as much time on the water as I wanted, so I had a good long, relaxed day of great fishing!

    Waiting Willow Creek with Dan

    Half Day Trip – Walk and Wade on June 30, 2025 • 1 adult

    I’m a novice fly angler who sought an accessible Alaska fishing experience. The day in late June was cool and the sky was overcast with clouds. I was apprehensive about and unsure that I’d made a good decision. Dan showed up at the appointed time and place and was encouraging and upbeat from the start. He demonstrated respect for his craft, the environment the fish and me with professionalism and unusual warmth. He taught and guided with kindness that free from condescension and a know it all demeanor. I learned to fish successfully in spots that, until today, I would have passed by without a second look. Dan managed our outing with skill and understanding. He challenged me to try new techniques and to see the habitat through new eyes. If you’re an older person, like me, and new to the sport of fly flying, you could hardly do better than to spend four hours on Willow Creek with Dan.

    Fantastic Trip With a Great Guide

    Full Day Trip – Float on August 24, 2024 • 1 adult

    My first guided fly fishing trip ever, and Alaska and Fishhound Expeditions did not disappoint! Caught quite a few beautiful rainbow trout and a couple of grayling. The rainbows were amazing and even included some aerial acrobatics to add to the excitement! My guide, Elijah, couldn't have been more friendly, helpful and accommodating. And the cold beer and hot reindeer brats on the riverbank made the trip just that much more enjoyable. I highly recommend Fishhound Expeditions for your next Alaskan adventure. Will definitely call on them again on my next trip. Thank you, Elijah, Adam and the whole Fishhound Expeditions crew.

Captain Adam has been fly fishing since he was 14 and his dream since that day was to be a guide in Alaska. He's been a guide since he was 19 and now is 41. At 30, the captain fulfilled his dream to guide in Alaska. After guiding for other companies and seeing how things could be improved and my wife's encouragement, Captain Adam started his own outfit. It started with him and a boat and has now grown to 10 guides and 4 different locations across Alaska.
