What a great day on the Kenai River. My 11 year old son and I are complete novices. We left the day feeling like pro anglers!
Dave handled our reservation. We booked months in advance and he answered questions, confirmed a week out, and even responded the morning of (at 6a) when I emailed about sunscreen - we had forgotten ours.
The river is majestic so full of serenity. All of the boats are oars-only on the sections we were on. It really adds to the experience. Once you’re on the water, there were no mosquitoes - a real plus! There is an eagle area 2/3 of the way down and we saw multiple eagles.
Mike is a true pro. He has been on teams that have won major fishing competitions around the world and has fished in all 50 states. He knows the river, is full of stories, and readily played along with me as I spun a yarn to joke with my son. My 11 yo loved talking with him. From the moment we met Mike, he was talking to my son - making him the star of the trip.
We had high water and cold water - both of which affect the fish. And yet, Mike found us fish - and we got that iconic Alaska picture for my boy.
You can’t always guarantee that the River will cooperate and you’ll be hooking fish every 10 minutes. But I can tell you - you can bank on a great time with Mike as your guide!
