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.

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!

Kenai Salmon Fishing

We did a family trip to Alaska and salmon fishing was top on the list of adventures. We fished with Robert at Scout Lake Adventures. Robert supplied all of the gear we needed. We went out in his boat and found a spot along the river bank. None of us had been salmon fishing before, Robert was patient and showed us the proper way to cast for salmon. Within minutes we were reeling in Sockeye Salmon. Our half day fishing trip did not disappoint. When finished Robert took us to another part of... More

Had a good time fishing with Robert, caught some reds and learned a lot about the Kenai river, he’s very passionate about fishing and making sure his clients have fun and learn how to fish. We will be back.
