Ash was an incredible guide. Very knowledgeable and great stories. He clearly know the river well and took us to a lake to try for pike too. We had an amazing and memorable day and we were both able to catch an arctic graying. Along the drive to start, we stopped to watch moose grazing in the water and another on the way back.
Such an amazing day on the river with 1Alaskatours.com. Tyson was the best guide, he helped us all to not only understand the river but to learn to fly fish and how to look for the best spots. We never felt rushed or that we were putting him out, even when we got our lines tied up. The company was on time and very professional. I would recommend that if you are coming to Fairbanks you should book a fishing trip with 1AlaskaTours.com, I would recommend the full day, you will not want to quit at the half day. Your family will thank you.
We are giving only 3 stars because this trip wasn’t what we expected for an 8 hour day of fishing. Firstly, it is catch and release, so nothing to take home after fishing all day. Secondly, it is advertised as lunch is provided, but it was basically a child’s size lunchable and one bottle of water-this would have been fine for a half day trip, but not all day. That being said, our guide Caleb was great! Knowledgeable and very personable. We enjoyed having him as our guide and the scenery was beautiful as well. These trips would be much better if you were able to take fish home with you at the end of the day.
1st Alaska Tour was very accommodating and easy to work with. Unfortunately I mixed up the timing and we were not able to book with them. But I was very pleased with their communication and how accommodating they were. If we get back to the Fairbanks area I would definitely book with them.
My husband and I spent one day with this trip. Our fishing guide is a very professional young guy. He coach us the technical skill of how to fishing salmons, we eventually got two fishes that day which is super good for a fresh persons first fishing experience. The river is amazing place with beautiful views and very quiet. This is a excellent trip and we definitely would like to go again next time when we come to AK.
