We're Andrew and Aaron, lifelong anglers with a passion for chasing salmon, trout, and steelhead. Fishing has been part of our lives since we could walk, and over the years it's grown into more than a hobby — it's become a way of life. During the off-season, we travel around the world exploring fisheries in places throughout South and Central America and Africa, always looking to learn more and experience new waters. Whether you're an experienced angler or picking up a rod for the first time, we love sharing our knowledge and helping people build confidence, skills, and unforgettable memories on the water.

    Andrew really knows his stuff

    Private 1/2 day-See description • 2 adults

    Andrew was a very good captain and guide. He worked very hard to give us every opportunity for success. The ride down the river was beautiful and relaxing. As they saw a poor day fishing is better than a good day at work. We took an early season trip (June 1), so we knew it would be iffy, and we weren't to disappointed that we didn't catch anything. None of the other boats on the river were catching fish either.

    Perfect rainbow trout trip

    Private full day • 4 adults

    Targeted rainbows on the Middle Kenai, had virtual nonstop action that included Dolly Varden, pink salmon, king salmon, and a sockeye. Hooked a HUGE king and we quickly cut the line, but we had a good look at it when it surfaced - incredible! Caught rainbows up to about 25,” our guide Aaron was very smooth about unhooking them with minimal contact. Hard to believe there’s a better trout fishery anywhere ! Great time! P.S. Aaron’s dog Fin loves back rubs and accepts tips in the form of ham sandwiches.

    Reported catch:
    Rainbow Trout (Steelhead)
    Sockeye Salmon
    Coho Salmon
    Chinook Salmon

    Fantastic Time, Created a New Fisherman

    3/4 day private • 1 adult

    Best time I have ever had fishing! Aaron was an excellent guide and instructor, put me on a variety of fish and taught me a lot about the art of fishing. I went from someone who never really enjoyed fishing to someone who now considers himself a fisherman. I am hooked! I caught my first salmon; 2 Silver/Coho, and several Sockeye. We also got a ton of Dolly Vardens and some gorgeous Rainbow Trout. Just a great day, with a great guy, on a spectacular and iconic river.

    Reported catch:
    Sockeye Salmon
    Rainbow Trout (Steelhead)
    Coho Salmon
