A beautiful day to fish - Beautiful space to fish, Jake made certain all had an opportunity to catch fish. Weather was cool, but the gear worked well and the guide was expert in the space. A great experience.

What a great experience! - Had an amazing day with Jake Barrette! He took us to a beautiful part of the Alaska. Fished in multiple spots. Wasn’t our day to catch a lot, but we had a wonderful wonderful time. We would seek him out through Viator if we come to the area again.

Amazing experience! Everyone caught a fish😁 - Jacob picked us up at our hotel right on time with all of the equipment we would need for the day. The drive was beautiful and we got to see a nose in the side of the road. When we made it to our fishing spot, he was incredibly helpful and patient. He even taught our 13-year old how to fly fish. It was a great day that wont be forgotten!

A great Alaska fishing experience - A great day of fishing. Pickup and drop off at the hotel was good, all I needed to bring was some snacks, everything else taken care off. Very knowledgeable guide, and I caught two grayling. 10/10 would recommend.

Excellent Guide- great fishing! - We are just casual fishers but this tour was fantastic. Our guide, Jake, provided waders, boots and poles so we had everything we needed. We fished a small river outside Fairbanks. Jake picked nice spots and we caught several Humpback Whitefish and some Greylings. Weather was cold, 26F in the morning with ice on the edges of the river. We also saw a Moose on the side of the road on the way home. Overall a great trip and a wonderful guide.
