Cooper Landing Fishing Guide

I Went with Mike from Cooper Landing Fishing Guide on a full day Kenai River trip. It was a phenomenal day of fly fishing. Mike made it fun and educational. We spent the first half hour helping me get the hang of bead fishing and getting a good hook set on the fish. By 10 AM I lost count of how many fish we had caught. We caught rainbows, dollies, silvers, and couldn’t help but catch a few reds. Mike changed color and size and weight on the beads to make sure we were using the most productive set up possible. To the point other guides on the river were asking what we were using. When we broke off on a fish Mike was handing me another rod to keep me fishing while he retied the other. I left with some great photos and a filleted silver for dinner. Thanks Mike and Cooper Landing Fishing Guide for a memorable day. I look forward to fishing with you again soon.

What an awesome time! I did a full-day guided fishing trip with Mike out of the Skilak Lake boat launch, and he took us to about 20 different spots throughout the day (about 10 am to 5:30 pm). Seems like we had a “slow” day and still caught 8 total fish between 3 people. For someone who doesn’t fish, I still loved the experience and thought catching 3 pretty big salmon was great. This is an expensive excursion, but when you consider everything it entails, I think it amounts to a bargain. Stop at the Two Brothers Roadhouse if you’re heading back to Anchorage from there and need some food.

Had a great time with Cooper Landing Fishing Guides. We added 2 anglers at the last moment, and they worked hard to accommodate us with an extra boat and a reserve pass. First time on the Kenai (drove past it a ton) and first time fly fishing for reds. These guys spent time working with us on technique and even taught me to spey. Will definitely be back and using these guys again!!

June 19, 2022 we went out for a full day of fishing on the Kasilof River. Our guide was Brian and I can't say enough about this guy. He was patient, an awesome teacher, a wealth of knowledge and hilarious! We were the only couple with him which was a highlight in its self but there was plenty of other guides out fishing were we were. But we were the only people to max out for the day, so that tells you he really knows how to read the waters and how the fish move. Unfortunately, due to current regulations and laws, we couldn't keep the King's we caught but we got the experience or reeling them in and how to properly release them back into the waters. We highly recommend not only going with this company but request Brian!

My wife and I went on a trip with Dave and we had a blast. He was very down to earth and easy going. We caught large silver salmon and had a fantastic time doing it. Dave is very knowledgeable about his craft and willing to teach you anything he can. Whether you have been fishing your whole life or it's you first time (like my wife's.) I would highly recommend Cooper Landing Fishing Guide to anyone looking for an unforgettable fishing experience.
