2.00We didn't catch any fish, and we realize we can't catch what is not there. But maybe we could have used different bait. The tour of hatchery was nice, but could have been shorter.

4.00Our guide was very informative. We learned before the tour that salmon actually run in August and, therefore, unlikely to actually catch a fish. Should have researched better. The kids really liked it though.
Ok experience but not worth the money

3.00We had high expectations for catching salmon and we didn't catch any. We don't blame anyone for that as that isn't something they can control. We did learn after the fact that during this time of year, early June, there aren't many salmon there yet. We did see two bald eagles and a seal that hung out by us while we fished which was cool. I think my biggest frustration is that we didn't get nearly the experience we expected for the amount of money we paid. Maybe have a backup fishing location to try or even a different type of fishing so at least we could catch a fish? We literally kept the same set up for almost 3 hours and kept casting and only caught seeweed. I don't want this to all be negative as we did enjoy our interactions with Michelle and Matt. It sounds like if you want to catch salmon you need to visit in July or August.
Not worth time and money

2.00Not a very helpful guide with no fish caught for the day except for the guide. That should tell you a lot there. Would not recommend
A lot of fun

5.00I went with my 17 year old niece. We had a great time. Our guides were very helpful and answered all of our questions. Everyone in our group caught fish except me and I still had a blast. We also saw seals and bald eagles as we fished.

5.00Our guide was full of knowledge and was so patient especially with me. I am not a fisherman. We didn’t catch anything, but my son wanted to go Salmon fishing in Alaska. The tour of the hatchery was very interesting too.
Awesome, awesome, awesome

5.00The most amazing fishing I have ever done. Guide showed me how to cast, how to stand when casting, how to reel the salmon in. It was great!! My son and grandson and I all caught multiple fish, and it was a truly memorable experience. I would absolutely recommend this to anyone who goes to Alaska and wants to fish. Learned about history of salmon. Truly an experience I will never forget!
Super fun salmon fishing!

5.00This is a family run business and the people couldn’t be nicer or more accommodating! Exceptional knowledge and stayed by us every minute to help land and release the fish. The hatchery was most interesting and all-in-all they gave us a perfect fishing experience!
Wonderful fishing experience!
