Nathan,
thank you so much for the wonderful review. I really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. Some days the fish make us work harder than others, but my goal is always to give everyone the best opportunity possible and make sure the trip is enjoyable from start to finish.
It was a pleasure having you on the boat, and I’m glad the day was still memorable even with the slower bite. I also appreciate you mentioning the patience shown with the young kids from the other group on board. Making sure everyone has a good experience, no matter their age or fishing experience, is always important to me.
I’m glad you got to enjoy the bald eagles along the river too — those moments are always something special.
Thank you again for booking with me and for the kind words. I’d be happy to fish with you again anytime.
— Captain Ray

Thank you, Joseph, for your thoughtful review. It was a pleasure having you and your family join me for a day of fishing on the Knik River. I am very pleased to hear that the scenery, the fishing, and Addyson’s salmon made the experience such a memorable part of your Alaska trip. I truly appreciate your kind words and recommendation, and I am grateful for the opportunity to have been part of your family’s visit. I hope to welcome you back on the water again in the future.

Thank you, Randy, for taking the time to share such a thoughtful review and for choosing Salmon Fishing Charter. While we always hope the fish cooperate, some days they’re there on the finder and simply not biting for anyone. We’re glad to hear you still had a fun and memorable day on the water, enjoyed the river and scenery, and appreciated Captain Ray’s hard work moving around and trying different spots. We also got a kick out of the Quint from Jaws comparison — Captain Ray’s salty, seasoned personality is part of what makes a day with him unique, genuine, and full of stories. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you back for another trip when the fish are ready to join the fun!

Thank you, Dennis, for taking the time to share such a thoughtful review. We’re glad you enjoyed Captain Ray’s stories, guidance, and the overall experience, even on one of those unusually cold July Alaska days.
And yes — this is exactly what we mean when we say to dress warm! Alaska weather can surprise you any time of year, and rain gear, layers, and even a thermos of hot coffee can make a big difference on the river.
We also appreciate your feedback about setting expectations before the trip and clarifying the fishing style. We do let everyone know ahead of time who they will be meeting, including a photo and the name of their guide, so you know who to look for at the water.
You said it well: it’s called fishing, not catching. The fish were there, and sometimes they just make us work for it. We’re glad you joined us and hope to fish with you again.

We’re thrilled to hear you had such an amazing time with Captain Terry. He loves making each trip fun, personal, and informative, so it means a lot to know that his wildlife knowledge and those binocular views of the eagle’s nest made the experience extra special. While the fishing can definitely be affected by low tides and the early season, we’re so glad you came in with the right expectations and still had a great time on the water. We’d love to have you back again for another adventure!
