Experience of a lifetime - 5/5 stars!! I took my family on this excursion while in Fairbanks and we all loved it! We were mostly not experienced and that was not an issue. Our guide, Jake, made sure that everyone was having an unforgettable time and catered to our needs. We caught a fish and he prepped it for us so we could take it home and cook it.

Very friendly and knowledgeable - We were picked at the hotel taken to a North Branch of the Chino River to a fishing spot known to the guide. He trying to find a place where the fish would bite. My wife caught one we did catch and release so no worry about the fish we were too late in the season to get the The big salmon. We try cast fishing and fly fishing but not a lot of bites. He was very knowledgeable and helpful very talkative with a lot of info on the local area.

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!
