I had a great time on the river! Their guides are very knowledgeable and helpful. Can't wait to fish with them again.

Fishing

We had the most fun, even though it was rainy we all caught fish and had a blast out on the river. We saw some eagles, and even a moose on the riverbank.

Aaron and his crew are top notch and will give you a memory of a lifetime. Well worth the trip to Alaska!

My husband and I had so much fun. I had never been fishing and the guide helped so much that I caught more than my husband the “fisherman”
