We had an excellent day of fishing with Matt.  I can’t tell you how amazing his guidance, and expertise of the river was!  We caught 8 reds between 4 of us and had several other strikes.  Matt is very personable and lives and breathes fishing.  He was also very patient with us rookies and had a great sense of humor.  It was an epic day overall!  Great job Matt!  I highly recommend them to anyone and will book with them again.  Brian S

A positive experience!  JJ was great with communication.  Called me day prior to trip to finalize details and let me know who would be our guide for our trip (Matt) and when we’d be picked up - yes if you’re staying in Cooper Landing, they’ll pick you up!

Matt was very prompt and picked us up right at the time we were told to be ready.  Everything was very clearly described to us.  Our group was small which was very nice - one of the reasons I booked the trip.  We had our guide Matt, myself, my friend, and 2 other guests.

Matt got us set up in just the right spot, taught us some techniques (we were fishing sockeye) and was always happy to answer any questions.  He observed us and came over to suggest/teach technique which helped to maximize our chances of hooking a sockeye.  I am/was a total beginner to sockeye.  So when it came to casting, swing, set, etc, he really helped everyone out.

Matt was on point once someone hooked a fish, providing more instruction on what to do to get that fish in so he could get it in the net.  Some got away, the nature of fishing, but our group did come away with lots of fish.

Matt was very professional, and he demonstrated a strong passion for fishing, and the river and wilderness in general.  Overall it was truly a great experience and I learned a lot during the trip.  Best of all was cooking up some freshly caught fish that night!

I really enjoyed the laid back time spent cruising down the river and getting all the background info as we fished. I grew up fishing saltwater, and this fly fishing was a new experience. Couldn’t have done it or landed those I did without the help of Capt Mike. This should be on your list when visiting.

If you go to Alaska and you want to fish, float the Kenai. Make sure you as for Matt best guide on the river. We floated the Kenai on our 36 wedding anniversary. my wife even caught bigger and more fish than I did? Great all around day.
