This was a great experience. My son doesn't like boats, so I found this as a fun thing to do. Kyle, our guide, was amazing, kind, and patient. We got him to ourselves and therefore got to be adventurous with our fishing spot. We didn't catch anything, but knew that was a possibility as I rarely catch things back home :) . We got to hang out on a beach and fish on a sunny, warm day in Alaska... zero complaints. I also liked the hatchery tour and learning more about salmon.
