Mike is truly an expert and professional fisherman! He has so much knowledge about Alaska (fishing, conservation, etc.) and is willing to share with his guests. Despite the unseasonably cold weather, our party of 4 (3 adults and 1 child) had an amazing time on the river with Mike as our guide. He was very patient and took the time to explain things for all to understand (especially our 11yo son). The picture says it all! 👍Such a blast! Mike came recommended to us by a friend of ours, and we would 100% go with him again next time we come to Alaska!

Such a blast! Mike came recommended to us by a friend of ours, and we would 100% go with him again next time we come to Alaska! He was so patient with us and really took time to explain the river and the fish we were searching for. It is also clear he has such an appreciation for the land and each fish that we caught and released. We were shocked at how much time we spent on the water- from 6am to last 2pm! Highly recommendMike was absolutely fantastic! Definitely recommend! Beautiful trip and great conversation...and of course we caught salmon!

I booked a half day Kenai River fishing trip for my husband and three adult sons. I found Mike to be a pleasure to work with. I have absolutely no knowledge about fishing never mind where to fish in Alaska. Mike clearly explained the difference between fishing the Kenai River vs Kasilof River, the various fish targeted on each river, the different styles of fishing, fishing the upper Kenai vs middle Kenai, drift boat vs motorized fishing, how fishing the middle Kenai meant I could not join my family due to the four passenger limit where I could join them on the upper Kenai, etc.. He was clear, concise, and patient as I tried to figure what tour was best for my family. Mike is willing to adapt the itinerary in order to find the fish. The day of the tour he asked to meet in a different location due to the fish not being where we originally planned. My family said Mike is friendly, he knew exactly where the fish were (as he clearly knows the river), and over all they had a great experience.
