High Adventure Air Charter - Cooked up salmon right on the boat!

High Adventure Air Charter

4.6(22 reviews)
3.4 mi

After being skunked for almost a week of fishing this was my last chance to catch anything before…read moregoing back home. High Adventure Air was able to accommodate putting me on a fly out sockeye salmon charter within a day...it was such last minute on my part but I had to go and every other company was completely booked! I wouldn't even look for another company to go out with, this is your place to go. It's in Soldotna right on the water, they have planes flying in and out all day! My guide was Drew and he was awesome! Our pilot was Ben who did an awesome job navigating us to and from our fishing spot! There were four people in the group headed out on an awesome Beaver seaplane. The flight was about 30 minutes from the office which wasn't bad at all especially with the beautiful scenery along the way. When we arrived (with the smoothest landing ever) we hopped in a small boat and immediately Drew made sure we understood the rules and safety for the trip, along with our daily itinerary. He was able to answer all of our questions and share his knowledge about the land and fishing. His stories were really cool to hear! Once we anchored down at our fishing spot Drew was sure to brief us on how the reels worked, how to cast correctly, and how we could be successful at catching fish. Wouldn't you know within the first 5 minutes two of the guys on the boat caught fish. It took me a little longer than everyone else but Drew was patient and helped everyone else. We all hit our limit catching sockeye (red) salmon in less than an hour! Afterwards Drew drove us around and showed us different spots on the water and we even saw some bears! He took us to a cool waterfall spot to have our pictures taken with our fish too! Then he filleted our salmon and divided it up amongst us evenly and gave it to us in individual bags so it was easy to take home. He surprised us by bringing some cooking supplies and he cooked us some salmon right there! It was the freshest tasting salmon ever and it had a great homemade seasoning that he makes! Then he drove us around some more to show us another spot where we may see bears, but also where salmon jump up a creek bed to spawn. Unfortunately we didn't see any jumping up the creek but we did see them flopping out of the water in that area. The plane came back to pick us up right on time, and Ben (the pilot) took us on a surprise detour to see a glacier before flying back! This entire day was awesome and I would definitely recommend! The price is totally worth it and it's not even as expensive as other fly out companies. If I am ever back in Anchorage I will definitely come on this trip again! **tips** - Bring layers! The day started out with not a cloud in the sky and by the end of our charter it was pouring rain and about 45°. - Bring and wear bug spray/lotion! I promise you there are tons of mosquitos! - Pack some snacks/sandwiches or something to hold you over because it's a long day out there!

We've been all over the world, but this is one of the best adventures we've ever had…read more.. From the moment we arrived at the pontoon plane dock to the moment we got back, it was absolutely phenomenal. Our guide, Derek, was the best ever and the fishing, wildlife viewing, glacier tour and plane ride were remarkable. You don't wanna miss this!

My third trip to Tower Rock Lodge (8/23) was as fantastic as the first two. Joe, Maude, and the…read moreawesome guide staff (Joe, Willie, Ollie & the rest) were very patient, professional and always went the extra mile to make sure we had fun and hooked lots of fish. Gabe, the Executive Chef, made sure our bellies were full of excellent cuisine. Our sockeye, coho, and halibut fillets were eagerly enjoyed by our friends and families back home. The customer service we received was again second to none. I'm anxiously awaiting my next trip back to TRL and cannot recommend them highly enough. You won't be sorry.

Just returned from my 2nd trip to TRL. There are a million different outfitters and guides on the…read moreKenai Peninsula but there's no need to look anyplace other that Tower Rock. This isn't your typical outfitter. Not only do they focus on the fishing, but they make sure EVERYTHING is taken care if for you. No need to haul your gear from home, just show up and you'll use their top-end equipment from Orvis, Simms, etc. Their guides are absolutely top notch. The guys put us on the fish each day, cleaned our catches and took it to the processor for freezing and shipping without a blink. You can tell the owners take care of them; not much turnover and the guides speak highly of the place. The food is outstanding! JR and his team knocked it out of the park with each meal, and there's never a shortage of wines and cigars to go along with the great food. What else can I say.....TRL gives you a perfect combination of great fishing, awesome food, big laughs and amazing value.
