AM Salmon fly fishing - awesome!

Half Day Trip (AM)3 adults1 child

We had an amazing 4hr morning salmon fly fishing experience with captain Phil. This was a special trip for my son’s 10th bday- he was so excited and ready for this and had the best time. We met at the office building, got dressed in waterproof waiters and boots then drive down to put the boat in the river. While traveling a few mins of going downstream to our beginning spot we learned all about the river and what we could expect. We learned about what fish are quality to keep and eat. We each caught at least one salmon and one chrome salmon (aka healthy before spawning stage). We were all beginners at fly fishing and Phil was a great teacher. We also saw a bunch of bald eagles along the way. Phil showed us how to gut the fish we caught as well. Overall it was an amazing trip and my son absolutely loved it! A few tips/things to know: the river is quite cold so make sure you wear layers and come early to catch the best fish!

    Great trip

    Full Day Trip • 3 adults

    The 3 of us had an absolute great time on the river. Dave our guide, was fantastic. he really worked hard all day to ensure we had a great day. we saw eagles Moose, lots of great scenery, and of course caught some fish. We caught several rainbow trout, and Dolly Varden hooked but didn't land lots more including a Salmon. I told them we wanted to have a nice float trip on the river and hopefully catch some fish. I hope to come back to Alaska and ask for Dave again. I can't say enough good things for how pleasant, helpful, and hard he worked for us. absolutely wonder day on the river. he even shared his Oreo cookies with us!
