One memorable experience was spent with Shaun on a secluded Alaskan stream. Although we missed the biggest fish of the day, we caught several others and enjoyed the unique thrill of sharing the waterway with a few local bears. Having fished with this team three times now, I can confidently say they are my top recommendation for anyone visiting the Talkeetna region.

Another fantastic trip took place at Montana Creek, where even a novice fly fisherman in our group managed to catch plenty of rainbows, some nearing 20 inches, despite it being early season with high water levels. Everyone involved was welcoming — our guide Sean was patient and knowledgeable, and Heather in the office was always ready to assist. We look forward to booking with them again in the future.
