This was an amazing experience. We caught so many fish and saw so many bears. Well worth the money. Our guide was also so amazing. My family keeps talking about how this was the best thing they did the whole trip!!

A bit different than was expected as thought this was regular stream fishing with bait and not snag fishing. But, it was a great experience with lots of fish caught and bear sightings.

Guide was great. Very informative and friendly. Unfortunately, the fishing was more like snagging . So many fish in the small area that it really wasn t fishing.

One of our favorite excursions of our Alaska adventure. Caught lots of fish and saw some beautiful Alaska scenery. Watched a bear play in the water and catch a fish. Our guide Waylon was the best- impressive with his outdoor knowledge and shared lots of stories about his experiences hunting, fishing, and growing up in the area. Highly recommend!

We had a great time with Daylon! He is a hardworking, polite and responsible young man with great people skills! Fishing was great and the scenery including a young bear catching his own fish from the stream was priceless! Great Job!
