This was my 13 year old son's and my first fishing trip to Alaska, and I wanted to make sure it was truly memorable, for all the right reasons. The challenge was, having never been to Alaska, how do you sift through all the reviews, advice, and outfitters, especially knowing this might be a once in a lifetime experience?
After reading the glowing reviews and speaking with Adam, I decided to go with FishHound Expeditions, and I'm so glad I did. It's rare that a trip like this not only meets expectations but far exceeds them. From the beginning, Adam was incredibly organized, offering great suggestions for lodging and following through on every detail.
Our guide for the three days--two days drifting and one unforgettable day flying by helicopter to a remote river, was Orion, and he was phenomenal. Knowledgeable, kind, patient, and passionate, he connected immediately with my son and became his fly fishing coach for the trip. That allowed me to simply sit back and enjoy the moment, no nagging about knots, no worrying about technique, just the pure joy of being on the water, surrounded by the beauty of Alaska.
It was everything I hoped for and more. Memories I'll cherish forever? Absolutely. Thank you, FishHound team, for making this father son trip unforgettable. read more
