We had such a wonderful time! Riley did an amazing job—he patiently taught us how to bait the hook and how to reel in the fish when it took the bite. He kept us great company throughout and even helped us prepare delicious hot dogs in the end, which were absolutely tasty. It was truly a joyful day! I sincerely hope I’ll have the chance to go fishing in Fairbanks again someday.

Our guide was Noah and he made the experience very fun. He was a great guide, and a host making sure we were well fed, had water, and had a fun time. I would 100% go again if I could ans would recommend this to anyone. The length of time of the visit was great, the atmosphere that Noah created was fun, and the overall experience was a great time.

Had a great time with Colton as our guide. We learned about the area and the differences in the fish we might catch. He cheered me on as I caught my first ever fish! The heated cabin was very comfortable for the 4 hour experience. Rod’s offers a military discount and is veteran owned.

Colton was our guide. He helped my mom catch her first fish, even though she was afraid. We all had a great time. The cabin was well maintained and warm.

This experience far exceeded our expectations. Our guide Colton was knowledgeable and ensured everyone had fun and got to catch at least one fish. He even suggested we fish outside for a bit since we were there during a beautiful snow storm! Super comfortable and memorable experience!
