Normally on a guided fish tour you are taken to an area that you are guaranteed to have an exciting experience of catching fish. You might move around in order to find where they are biting but that is why you hire guides that know the good spots. We thought we would have this kind of experience especially because we were right in the midst of salmon running season. We were taken to one spot where we crossed a narrow low spot in the river where the salmon were at the end of their life span and flopping around. Once we crossed there the river was deeper and that is where we were told to fish. The guide spoke to people that were leaving and found they had had no luck. We fished and fished without a single bite. Just to say we caught something we went back to the narrow section where we literally had to snag a dying fish since at that stage they weren t interested in eating. It was a very disappointing experience to say the least.

This was a great time. AJ was a good and knowledgeable guide. We didn't realize it was a beginner type trip but still had a blast, caught 3 halibut in Alaska!!

The 4 of us had a wonderful time. AJ literally gave us the shirt (jacket in this case) off his back to make sure his guests were comfortable. Amazing to see the salmon run and all the wildlife. Would do it again!
