Then comes Mark, he looks young but has deep experience and knowledge about fishing. He made the process so easy for us. The whole experience left a memorable and lasting impression of Alaska. Even though we were first-timers, we caught so many fish, and all the credit goes to Mark for picking the right spot and his constant coaching/nudging. This duo is my top choice for any future fishing in Alaska. Highly recommended.

Dan and I fell in love with Alaska back in 2016 when we went on our first Alaskan cruise. The…read morefollowing year, we did a cruise tour and realized that Alaska has more to offer than just the cruise. So, we always discussed since then to plan an Alaskan vacation that was more land than a cruise. However, the pandemic happened and our vacation plans were on the shelf until this year. We are not avid fishermen. I haven't touched a pole since I was a child but we decided to book a 5 day fishing package with Kenai Riverbend Resort that's located in Soldotna, Alaska. Once I booked with them and they received our payment, they emailed our confirmation as well as travel information, packing instructions and obtaining fishing licenses. Best.DECISION.ever We flew into Anchorage and decided to rent a car to take the scenic drive to Soldotna (roughly 3 hours). The resort is located by the Kenai River and it has been in business for 40+ years by the Cho family. The history of how this business came into fruition is amazing and every American dream for anyone who comes to America. They have a lot of returning visitors. One man shared he's been vacationing at Kenai Riverbend Resort for 20+ years! Talk about great customer service when you hear stories like this. At the resort, you can either rent an RV space, lodge (2 or less) or cabin (4 or more). If you don't have fishing gear, they have the necessary gear to make your fishing excursions successful. Their guides are knowledgeable, friendly and helpful and have been with the company for years. Dan and I were upgraded to a cabin next to the river and it was just beautiful. This is glamping at its finest. The cabin had a fridge, microwave, sink, cookware, dishes, hot plate and a gas grill. Dan and I agreed that next time we are here, we are buying a week's worth of groceries instead of dining out. We had 2 halibut fishing excursions at Cook Inlet and Homer as well as 2 silver salmon excursions on the river. Dan and I came prepared with our seabands and motion sickness medication. Our first day on halibut fishing, the guides (Christian and Mason) were super helpful and the remaining group were fun (I was the only female and they all cheered when I got the first catch of the day!). We forgoed the second day of halibut fishing to rest and explore instead. Our third day was an afternoon of silver salmon fishing on the river. While the current flowed fast, the river was smooth. Our guide, Jeremy was helpful and fun as well while we fished. Our fourth day was a morning of silver salmon fishing on the river, which went by quickly because we all caught the max number of salmon (3 per person) for the day. It was cold, rainy and fun! If you're wondering about the fish we caught, the resort will clean, filet, vacuum seal your fish and freeze it all until you check out. You can either have it mailed via FedEx or have them box it for you to travel with. Note: Anchorage International Airport has a storage freezer for your fish if you're planning to stay overnight in Anchorage. ***If you're traveling through Seattle from Anchorage and will be staying overnight...contact your hotel to see if they'll store it in their freezer as the SmartCarte baggage storage does not open until 8am at SeaTac. We took home 70+ lbs of fish. The resort and surrounding area was peaceful, serene and breathtaking. Alaska always brings things back into perspective about life. Keep it simple. Are we returning? Absolutely. Recommend: HIGHLY

SOCKEYE Fishing With Fishology and Adam…read more Another home run with Fishology. We had so many questions and every one went out of their way to set us up for success. Communication is simply top notch. Highly responsive, quick to tackle anything that may come up. Mark matched us perfectly with Adam and Alicia made sure that we knew where we had to be and how to connect with Adam. Adam is a phenomenal guide. He understood that this was a big day for my wife, her first SOCKEYE fishing experience. We found our spot in a few minutes and quickly learned to the fine art of "flossing". 60 minutes later we had bagged out, three beautiful SOCKEYE each. Heading home for a large Fish Smoke with friends and family. If you are targeting TROUT or SOCKEYE, ask for Adam. He knows the environment intimately, was absolutely superb when it came to working with my wife and had her casting like a 40 year veteran in literally, no time at all. I love his coaching style and how super supportive he continued to be, through our whole fishing trip. On top of that, Adam is one of those fun people you would like too just hangout with. Great communicator, very funny, very easy to get along with. His boat is super clean and very well presented. He asks all the right questions and makes everyone in the party feel like he is there for that individual only. 5 stars mate, great job Adam, Mark and Alicia. KING SALMON Fishing With Fishology and Chase We were scheduled to to go Halibut fishing. The weather turned and that was the end of that. Mark and Alicia jumped into high gear and got us booked with Chase for a KING SALMON guided experience. We had so many questions and every one went out of their way to set us up for success. Communication is always top notch with this crew. Highly responsive, quick to tackle anything that may come up. Casey is one of the hardest working guides I have ever met. He pushed us into the best fishing holes and worked the ores to capitalize on the best spots, in the best holes. He constantly rowed, tended lines, swapped out fresh bait, coached and taught us all about the Kasiloff river and their residents, the gorgeous KING SALMON. The KINGS are diminishing at an alarming rate and all the guides work very hard to preserve these fine fish for generations to come. We caught 3 nice KINGS and two HUGE SOCKEYES. Whatever we were not allowed keep, Chase made sure went back to the river with as little handling and as much care as possible. It makes me so happy to know that there are people like Chase out there, providing incredible experiences yet working that hard to preserve these experiences for future generations. KING SALMON Fishing is a great adventure and I highly, highly recommend the Chase Guided King Salmon adventure. Simply outstanding. Another flawless event presented by Mark, Alicia and Chase. TROUT Fishing With Fishology and Aaron WOW, Mark and Alicia from Fishology are amazing to work with You can "book with the best or go with the rest" We had so many questions and every one went out of their way to set us up for success. Communication is simply top notch. Highly responsive, quick to tackle anything that may come up. Our Trout experience was flawless. Mark set us up with Aaron. Aaron is patient, knowledgeable and was a great instructor for my wife. This was her first trip. We caught so many fish we stopped counting at 20. As an avid fly fisherman, I deeply respected how Aaron handled the fish and was careful to return them to the water unharmed. He explained to us how the fishery is protected and kept us off the spawning beds. This in no way meant any less fun or smaller fish. We have great pictures and wonderful memories of our trout trip, highly recommend Fishology, Mark, Alicia and Aaron.

I've all of the reviews written about Tower Rock Lodge prior to mine here and highly encourage…read moreanyone reading this to do the same. You don't need, however, to get past even one to grasp just how special Tower Rock Lodge is. I find it difficult to contribute anything new to the accolades they've already received, and though tempted to do so, will not plagiarize the eloquently written words of those who precede me. All people/things have faults, and many people would lump service industry businesses in with businesses that tend to have more than their fair share. When it comes to Tower Rock Lodge, however, as hard as I've tried throughout my experience with them to find even one, I've not been successful...but will update this review if/when I am. Don't hold your breath. I'm a firm believer in the notion that "if something seems too good to be true, it probably is", and I'll avoid it like the plague. Tower Rock Lodge is one of the rare exceptions to this notion. It is truly good. So, not to waste any more of your valuable time, I'll cease to ramble and let you get on with booking them for your next Alaskan fishing adventure. You will be, as the rest of us here are, elated you did. Any best wishes I could extend pertaining to your real adventure, will be realized when you book with Tower Rock Lodge. Simply put, they are the best!
