We had guide Mike for our day of fishing. Mike is a GREAT GUIDE AND PERSON. He was extremely accommodating and patient, and has a great sense of humor. He knows the waters we fished like the back of his hand. Mike was well prepared and ready with all of our equipment. We came early in the fishing season so it wasn’t optimal time but we managed to land 8 brown trout and missed several others in one day. I highly recommend this trip! Yes my non fishing daughter caught more fish than I did.

Fantastic Fly Fishing Experience

Carol_W, Jun 2023

We had a fantastic day! I surprised my husband with this private tour, & our guide (Mike), was great! It was really too cold for much activity (end of April), so we didn’t get many fish, but he was patient in teaching me how to cast. My husband loved it & it was a perfect ending to a wonderful trip!

Excellent Trip. Caught lots and f char

Thomas_T, Aug 2021

Great guide. Very knowledgeable. Put me on a lot of fish!!! Landed at least 10 artic char. Hooked up a number more but using small nymphs it was tough to get them to net. Brown trout were still in the lakes and had not migrated into river to spawn. Highly recommend to others.
