    John and Heather are a great team. Heather gave us a lot of info on the local fishing and set us up to start our 3 day trip on a half day guide trip with John so we could get the lay of the land (river). John took my buddy and I out for a half day that was really more like ¾ day. He had tackle Already set up and rigged our own gear while we started off using his. He expertly put us on the fish and coached me (a novice fly fisherman - this was my second time ever fly fishing) on the how to's. After several patient explanations from John I finally got what he was saying and then I started hooking numerous hefty rainbows. John even put us on a hole with some silvers but they were pretty much done for the season. The rainbows were beefy and good fighters. As we floated down the Kenai River he pointed out several good spots accessible by foot which kept us occupied for our two remaining days. I would highly recommend this team for a guide trip and local knowledge on the Kenai and Russian River areas. They are nice people and John was exceptionally patient with my slow uptake but we were both rewarded when I started pulling in rainbows that I don't often see in the Eastern Sierras of California. When I go back, I will definitely schedule a trip with them again.

We didn't realize until…read morewe got on the boat that our seating was assigned in a table and shared with two other people. The window seats at the tables are first come, first served, so that's something to keep in mind. The service was good, and everyone throughout the tour was very helpful and kind. The captain and crew were great and provided lots of interesting information about the surrounding area, wildlife, and glaciers. They also offered a tequila tasting when we reached the glacier area, with the tequila served over glacier ice, which was a unique touch. At the end of the cruise, they gave us a complimentary brownie, which was a nice little treat. Drink price and quality plus hot dog that we ordered were good. When booking online, we had the option to choose our meal, and we requested a gluten-free turkey club. Unfortunately, when our section was called for food, the gluten-free meal wasn't ready and took quite a while to arrive. Also the regular snack option included chips and a granola bar, while the gluten-free option came with two bags of chips instead. It would have been nice to have a little more variety for the gluten-free option. Overall, we really enjoyed the cruise, the scenery, and the wonderful staff. It was a memorable experience and I would recommend it.

I would have a staff member present for this awkward table assignment - we did call and went in person the day before to avoid such a debacle and were brushed off. Shane remedied the situation and did comp us a glacier margarita (thank you for that ) the crew was great , but management should reconsider the seating assignment versus the "you get what you get " or mitigate and prevent uncomfortable situations among the guests. However, the weather was great - our captain was great and the crew was great !

After easy check-in, we went to our cabin and was greeted with dirty spatula on the porch. Not a good sign, but we remained hopeful. However, as we entered the cute little cabin, we saw dead bugs on the window sill, the shower curtain was wet from the previous occupants, and the couch was stained & dirty. As two women travelling, what concerned us most was the various 'characters' walking throughout the property, who we think were either fisherman or workers from the local outfitters. Not the wholesome environment we thought Gwin's Lodge would offer. For pros, the bed was comfy and the front desk was friendly. I can see how the lodge would be good enough for some guests. Sad to say, I'm not one of them. I got through the night pretending I was camping and left early the next morning. Other than above, the roadhouse restaurant is well worth the food stop and the gift/gear shop is stocked with all you'll need for your stay in Cooper Landing.

    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.
