Had the best day ever with Ryan - he taught us two different types of fishing and made sure we all had his help throughout the day. He is so knowledgeable about Alaska and has some great hunting and fishing stories. I plan to fish with him every time I’m in Alaska!

This is a great fishing trip to immerse yourself in the Alaskan wilderness while fishing. Ryan was a great, knowledgeable, and fun guide. We caught quite a lot of fish on the river and had an amazing day. Would highly recommend!

Ryan is super! we had a great day fishing. Ryan picked us up at our hotel and brought us back there. we didn't catch any fish but had a great time trying

First, it was an outstanding adventure. You get to see Alaska up front and personal as it was over a hundred years ago, the foliage and trees, ice cold water with fish in it. The guide was outstanding, explained how and where to present the lure or fly.

Excellent. This has been on my bucket list for years. Learned how to cast for salmon. Ryan was so helpful with everything. I now have to buy the fab Polaroid glasses that help you see the fish under the water.

Amazing day with Ryan in Willow, Alaska. Fishing with an expert. Our group ranged from beginner to mid-level fisherman, and Ryan was fabulous with all. Ended the day with the grill and some of the best tasting salmon we’ve ever eaten. Heavenly.

Fun excursion, nice scenic ride to our fishing spot. Caught plenty of fish and everything was taken care of to get set up and casting. Great grilled salmon from river to plate for lunch.

Wow! I’ll probably run out of characters trying to explain how amazing this experience was. My brother and I went salmon fishing for the first time with Ryan as our guide. We had a 7am pick up time and our whole drive was filled with non stop conversation, looking for wild animals, and being informed on different tides, fishing mechanisms, and different fish (I even think my brother replaced me with Ryan 30 min into our drive). We drove to resurrection creek in the Kenai Peninsula and we were the first people there-one of the biggest advantages to an early start time. My brother was fairly knowledgeable on fishing, however this was my first time and Ryan was incredibly patient with me no matter how many times i held the rod incorrectly or even kept jamming my line in a rock. My brother caught a fish within the first 30 minutes of our arrival, and surprisingly enough I was able to catch a few fish myself (something I never thought would happen). Ryan was so patient and didn’t rush us even when we wanted to stay on and fish for another hour. At the end he filled our fish, packed it up for us to take back home, and even grilled one for us to eat right then and there (it doesn’t get more fresh than this). I cannot recommend this adventure enough, and if you do book it, you have to book with Ryan for a well rounded experience.

My friend and I had a great day fishing for Alaskan King Salmon in Alaska on this tour. Ryan is a great guide. He was very friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive. The hotel pickup was a must for us and Ryan picked us up right from the front door of our hotel and drove us out to a beautiful fishing spot along a glacial blue river. We managed to catch an Alaskan King Salmon and Ryan cooked it up for us right on the river. Would definitely recommend.

We fished at a river ~40min north of Anchorage. Did not have a single bite all day (no fish were caught by anyone in the group). Could have done the same thing for a fraction of the cost if I went to Walmart to buy a rod and drove up there.
Ryan was a really nice guy, knew a lot, and in many ways can't control the fish biting or not. However, I wish there was another element to the activity to supplement that.

A relaxing and peaceful day on the river banks. Ryan was attentive, engaging and patient, Hubby caught a King Salmon and Ryan grilled the perfect lunch. Highly recommend.

Excellent guide! Ryan provided a top notch Alaska experience. It was very convenient to get picked up from hotel in Anchorage
Mike_H, Sep 2024
Never have fished for salmon before. Our guide Ryan was knowledgeable in all aspects of this arena. He adjusted and tweaked the tackle all he could to entice the fish to bite. He did not disappoint! Great time! Will do it again when we visit Anchorage!
Sallye_R, Aug 2024
We’ve never caught any kind of salmon so it was quite an experience. Ryan was so attentive to us and was very kind. Great fighting fish.
Michael_K, Aug 2024
We caught a bunch of salmon in beautiful surroundings. Guide was great, especially with my son. Fishing method was not exactly what we expected.
Scott_S, Sep 2023
Great guys, cold rainy day but made the best of it and ate some fresh salmon right off the grill. When we come back using them for sure.
Joyce_L, Sep 2023
Ryan our guide was extremely knowledgeable and helpful. He made the day so much fun. He went above and beyond to make our day fun.
David_P, Aug 2023
No fish, No good.. Entire day and not one bite. We went to bad location and ocean fished where there were no fish. Could have done this on my own.
monica_w, Aug 2023
Once in a lifetime experience for us. Couldn't have asked for a better guide service. Ryan knew so much! Also made us feel safe in such a wild place!

Our family recently did the 8 hour salmon fishing experience. Ryan was our guide and picked us up at our hotel. The fishing spot was was beautiful and we all caught salmon. Ryan taught us how to use the equipment as this was the first time any of us had been salmon fishing. All equipment was provided. After an amazing day fishing, Ryan prepared and cooked some salmon for everyone to enjoy.
Amazing experience and fun for the whole family. Extra bonus is that we saw a bear (from the car) and a bald eagle during our adventure! Ryan was a great guide and would recommend this tour to everyone.

Beautiful setting at Reservation Creek in the town of Hope Alaska. Great, personable and knowledgable guide. Caught lots of salmon.
Matt_S, Jul 2023
Our guide Ryan put us right on salmon. I caught one on my first cast. We had action all day. Fantastic experience!
John_S, Jul 2023
Epic adventure with Ryan and Brendon. The wildlife, views and instruction were perfect. Thank you for showing us fly fishing in Hope.
Thomas_L, Jul 2023
Ryan and his son were organized, helpful, communicated well, and got us on lots of fish right away! Fresh salmon shore lunch was fantastic.
James_D, Jul 2023
It was an all around great day with great fishing and great people. This was a day that was a dream come true!!! Salmon Fishing in Alaska with a great guide!!!!!
Joshua_B, Jul 2023
Absolutely crushed it fishing! This fishing trip was everything I pictured when I imagined fly fishing in Alaska. Seriously can’t thank Alaska Adventure Guides enough for taking me out and putting me on the fish! Just look at the pictures for yourself and that’s not even close to as many as I caught. The whole crew caught fish the whole time. Also got to eat a fresh one right out of the water! If you’re coming to Alaska and want to catch fish then check these guys out.

It was THE BEST experience of the week! Ryan made is personal, relaxing and catered to each persons need. A phenomenal chef!!! To whip up the filets right there and feed us so tasty! A forever memory! It was a beautiful drive, and he shared more information that made the remainder of our week a wonderful experience!! We will be back to ski and enjoy Alaska wirh Ryan and his company again!

Our two guides were GREAT (father and son), they gave 110% and the son took my two grandsons under his wing. I definitely would hire them again and would recommend them to anyone.
Thanks for the great service.
