They provided high quality waders and boots (Simms and Patagonia) to make sure we would be comfortable on the river. They really do more than "put you in boat", with high level knowledge of the area we left early to get to a good fishing spot where the salmon were running. Dallin was our guide and he was amazing! With super high energy, zest for life, and a passion for fishing, he made our day so enjoyable. Our favorite part was when we all caught salmon and he was sprinting up and down the river with nets helping us bring in fish. It was so much fun. Book with them!!!

The gear they provided kept us dry, and it was the perfect amount of time to be on the Kenai River for a novice to both learn and try to catch some fish. Tom had the patience of a saint while we learned, was an excellent teacher, and knew every inch of that river: where to go to go for a hit, what bait to use, the technique for that specific spot -- it was absolutely unreal. My husband ended up catching a nice rainbow and a Grayling. Well worth the money. Give Tom a raise!

What a great experience for my family! We felt fortunate to have had Mike as our guide. We had…read morenever been salmon fishing before, and he made it easy and fun for us. His communication before our trip was excellent. During our time together, he was patient and a wonderful teacher. He knew how important it was for my teenage boys to catch fish that day, so he met us before sunrise to make absolutely sure we had the best spot on the river. My wife, who is not really into fishing, enjoyed just sitting in the boat and hearing Mike's stories about life in Alaska. He filleted all our fish on the spot and had everything ready for us to take to the fish processing center for shipping. He's a true professional and a great human. We highly recommend Mike Adams and Alaskan Angling Adventures!

As a saltwater angler the drift boat/indicator fishing techniques were new to me, but Mike's instruction got me up to speed quickly and we were catching fish right away. Mike is thoroughly in-tune with the river and ecosystem. This knowledge showed as he was constantly making adjustments to give us the best chance of hooking up. His skills managing the boat and 2 anglers battling fish were also impressive. Overall this trip exceeded our expectations thanks to Mike's preparation, guidance and hard work. 10/10 highly recommend!

We took our family on a guide down the Kenai with this company. We required three guides due to the size of our group. We were lucky to get to know Mike, Mike and Jeff. I specifically was in the boat with Mike (Evans perhaps is his last name?). He has such a magnetic personality and kept the trip so enjoyable. He also knew the river well and so many fishing tips. He gave us such positive criticism and truly wanted us to be successful. You cannot go wrong by booking with this group. They made this the highlight of our trip -- and we did a lot of things while in Alaska! It makes me want to stay in touch. We kind of bonded! Thanks so much guys!!!

Two words come to mind when describing our experience: STRANDED and COMMUNICATION--or, more…read moreaccurately, the lack of it. My 14-year-old grandson and I had carefully planned and greatly anticipated this fishing trip. We arrived at the Cooper Landing office area two hours early, believing that was where our trip would begin. While waiting, we watched several groups meet guides, get into vans, and leave for their fishing destinations. Our email stated that we would be fishing "on the Kasilof River, about an hour from Cooper Landing." I understood that to mean we would be transported there--especially after watching other groups leave from the office in vans. At no point did I understand that we were expected to drive ourselves to an unspecified meeting location an hour away. The office was unlocked but unattended. When our departure time came and went, I called and spoke with someone I believe was named Dave. Rather than calmly addressing what was clearly a communication problem, he became defensive and scolded me, repeatedly insisting that I had received an email telling me where to meet. I tried several times to move the conversation away from assigning blame and toward finding a solution. Eventually, arrangements were made for us to drive to a specified location and join the trip. Once on the river, things improved considerably. Our guide was fairly inexperienced in the area, but very good. He worked extremely hard, and everyone in our boat caught their limit. He deserves considerable credit for turning a very disappointing beginning into an enjoyable fishing experience. Unfortunately, the disorganization returned at the end of the day. After reaching the takeout point, we expected transportation to be waiting. Instead, we stood in the cold rain for nearly two hours waiting for the truck to arrive. There was clearly a serious breakdown in communication and coordination. Our two fellow guests were also extremely unhappy and said they were considering canceling their trip scheduled for the following day. Bottom line: The fishing was excellent, and our guide was fairly inexperienced in the area, but very good. The communication, organization, and customer service were not. Mistakes and misunderstandings happen. What matters is how a business handles them. Customers should not be scolded when there is an obvious communication breakdown, nor should they be left standing in the cold rain for nearly two hours because transportation was poorly coordinated. Based on our experience, I cannot recommend this operation. There are other fishing guide services in the Cooper Landing and Kenai Peninsula area, and I would strongly encourage travelers to explore those alternatives. What should have been one of the highlights of an Alaska trip with my grandson was unnecessarily diminished by poor communication, disorganization, and disrespectful customer service.
