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!!!

Went on two separate half day fishing trips with Jared with my 3 kids (12, 9 and 7)…read more They had a great time and learned a lot about salmon fishing. Although there were Emergency Orders issued the day we flew to Alaska (no King Salmon fishing allowed in Kenai, no bait permitted, no multi hoon lines, etc), Jared improvised and switched us from the Kenai River to the Kasilof River. We caught one large 10lb Sockeye Salmon on the first day. Despite other boats coming up empty. And on the second day, we caught two King/Chinook salmon. One was a large 20lb hen. Good news and bad news, it was a Wild King Salmon, which meant we had to release it. The second was a 10lb hatchery King Salmon. My kids were thrilled. Can't wait to go back and fish with Jared.

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!

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!

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.

Dave, the owner/operator of Cooper Landing Fishing Guide was the greatest find of our entire trip…read more We hired him for three days of fishing with our group and rented his amazing Main Cabin at Alaska Heavenly Lodge. My family had the trip of a lifetime! The cabin and property is gorgeous, well appointed, comfortable, affordable, quiet, quaint and in the perfect location. The days on the water fishing with Dave were INCREDIBLE! He is patient, kind, funny, engaging and has an amazing amount of institutional knowledge about fishing the Kenai Peninsula area. We were originally planning to fish for two days on the Kasilof River for Silver Salmon and then one day on the Kenai River fly fishing for trout. When the conditions were not up to his standards, he pivoted and changed the plan to make sure everyone in our group had the best experience possible. I will most definitely be back to fish with Dave again and stay at Alaska Heavenly Lodge and I highly recommend him for either your fishing adventure and/or lodging while in the Kenai Peninsula area.

I have recommended Corey to my entire family and every fisherman visiting Alaska who wants to catch that "One Big Fish" -- hands down Corey is the best guide on the Kenai and Kasilof Rivers. It's hard to admit that after living the better part of 12yrs in Alaska, I just don't go fishing either river without chartering with Corey. He has yet to not give me an opportunity to catch that fat and feisty fish !! You won't be sorry that you chartered with Corey -- but I assure you that will be if you don't. Tight Lines !!

They place a huge emphasis on sustainability, eco-tourism, and conservation, which makes my heart sing. All of the guides are incredibly knowledgeable and helpful. Each of the lodges is incredibly quaint and homey. They give you a backwoods vibe, but with all of the amenities. Every person we came into contact with won our hearts, especially Christine the guide, Kevin the hiking guide and ornithologist, Evan the chef, and Laredo the fishing guide. All the food is AMAZING by the way. Had such an amazing experience that I think I'll be trying to come back and work for them next summer if they'll have me.
