Mike, our guide, was attentive, easy going, and knowledgeable. He made sure each member of our group was set up for success and had a great time. We will go back again and will definitely book again with this company.

The guide was fabulous - Mike Adams. He supplied everything & was most responsive leading up to the trip. I was expecting to fish from a boat but that was actually a small part of the trip. We were supplied waders to fly fish from the river. It is a very fast moving river & I just felt unsure of myself. My husband loved it & caught 5 fish with Mike’s help. It was a good overall experience but would only recommend to someone familiar w fly fishing

Catching 2 sockeye. My companion caught also. Mike Adams was a patient and extremely helpful guide, coach & companion.

Mike is truly an expert and professional fisherman! He has so much knowledge about Alaska (fishing, conservation, etc.) and is willing to share with his guests. Despite the unseasonably cold weather, our party of 4 (3 adults and 1 child) had an amazing time on the river with Mike as our guide. He was very patient and took the time to explain things for all to understand (especially our 11yo son). The picture says it all! 👍

Such a blast! Mike came recommended to us by a friend of ours, and we would 100% go with him again next time we come to Alaska! He was so patient with us and really took time to explain the river and the fish we were searching for. It is also clear he has such an appreciation for the land and each fish that we caught and released. We were shocked at how much time we spent on the water- from 6am to last 2pm! Highly recommend

If you are looking for a fresh water fishing trip I 1000% recommend fishing with Mike! He was absolutely amazing with our daughters! He is so down to earth, respectful of the fish and wildlife and knows what he is doing! We watched other guides standing back and not really actively participating. Mike was in the water with us the entire time helping and encouraging us. And wouldn't you know, WE were the ones catching all the fish! If your kids are wanting to fish, this is your guy! Even if you don't, you'll have a memorable trip with Mike! Hands down the most memorable part of our entire trip!

Our favorite adventure from our trip was fishing for salmon! We weren’t sure we wanted to spend the money going with a guide service because we thought eh we know how to fish we can just rent some gear and go but no this was a whole different world of fishing! Having a guide was WELL worth it! We learned so much our guide Mike was awesome! He was super friendly and so knowledgeable about the area and wildlife, we were able to see lots of bears! I was also impressed how patient he was with my kids,it was the best day ever for my 12 year old. If your in Cooper Landing definitely check out Alaska Angling Adventures.

My family did a half day fishing tour. Mike was awesome!! He taught all of us - including me, with zero experience (and little interest) to fly fish and made sure we all had a really great time too (yes, even me, but particularly my husband and stepson). He was appropriately attentive to all of us but also let us all alone enough to enjoy the experience. We had a nice drift boat ride down the river after several hours of fishing, caught plenty which he cleaned for us, and had an excellent time.

Mike was absolutely fantastic! Definitely recommend! Beautiful trip and great conversation...and of course we caught salmon!

My 9 year old grandson and I went on a 4 hour fishing trip on Keni with Mike, our fishing guide. My grandson caught and released two rainbow trouts and I caught and released one. But the best part was when he caught a 10 pound male salmon that fed us for three days. Additionally we saw one brown bear catching salmon, three bald eagles resting and hunting on tree branches right above us, a beaver swimming by us. The river was turquoise blue color. Never seen anything like it. The best part was Mike our guide; Very knowledgeable, kind, and my grandson loved fishing with him. He filleted the salmon for him and gave it to him. Money well spent. We will post pictures later.
