If this is your first time fishing in Alaska Bob is the Captain for you. If you are a seasoned fisherman or woman again, Bob is the Captain for you. Rain or shine you will catch a fish. If you do not catch a fish within your time frame he will stay later on the water with you at no charge so you experience what its like to catch a Salmon. He takes great pride in watching people enjoy doing what he loves the most. What you see is what you get and that is a genuine human being that we need more... More

thanks for the kind review. No better way to end my season with meeting a nice person like yourself. being married to a nurse for so many years I know your job description sometimes takes more from you then it gives us back. Glad to have given you some time in Alaska to unwind. Looking forward to next year showing you what August is all about when it comes to catching fish on the Kenai River. Be safe tell your next adventure Scout Lake Adventures.

Our guide Bob was outstanding. He was very personable and patient. I was really impressed that he took the time to show us how to catch the salmon. We loved the stories about the bananas, he kept on the boat. As an additional plus, we had a very scenic view of the river with mountains in the background. Living the Alaska dream as a family with a very personable guide!!!!!we left the trip with 18 fish and a wonderful memory that myself and my kids will cherish forever!!!!

We had a fantastic experience on our trip. Although we were slightly early in the season and didn’t quite reach our limit as hoped, it was certainly not due to any lack of effort on Robert’s part. He demonstrated exceptional dedication, continuously adjusting locations, techniques, and lures to give us every possible opportunity for success. His knowledge of the river, the fish, and the local community is truly unparalleled. He went above and beyond what anyone could reasonably expect.

Robert was the best. He taught us the correct way to fish for salmon. He did not give up on a slow day. We stayed until we caught fish. I have never had a charter captain like Robert. I would and will recommend him to anyone wanting to fish the Kenai.

Captain Robert puts in effort to give his Clients a great experience. I was skeptical since he was the lowered price guide but I was proven at the end of our trip that he’s outstanding. He was on time, Kind, professional, knowledgeable and very patient with anglers of all skills. He prioritized his passengers having a great trip and I will be going fishing with him again. Thank captain Robert!
