Clients Reviews

  • Three anglers fishing from Skagway, Alaska

    "Fly fishing in Alaska was a bucket list item for my husband, son and nephew when we ported in Haines off our Holland America cruise aboard the Westerdam. We had several hours in the Haines port so they were excited to be able to spend time fishing and this tour guide service did not disappoint. They were equipped with everything they needed and had a perfect weather day. The pictures they took during their time there were superb too. Especially of the bear who fished just downstream."

    "My friend Dan And I booked half day with Fly Guides. We caught Many pinks and a nice size Dolly and a 400lbs Brown Bear fished with us for awhile. The day of a lifetime! I’ll go back."

    "The experience is one that will last in my memory banks for a very long time. The beauty of the Chilkoot River and the Haines area is hard to describe. It is big and powerful and beautiful! You will not regret spending a day with Greg or one of his guides! We are planning to book again"
