My first visit to Alaska was simply awesome. We were blessed with mild temperatures, calm waters and excellent fishing. Our guide, Wayne, took us to different spots and each spot produced exactly as he explained beforehand. When he took us to a spot that was kicking out silver salmon, we caught silver salmon. His deep water spot for bigger halibut produced two big halibut. He said certain shallower pinnacles held big lingcod and rockfish and that’s exactly what we caught off of them… it was uncanny!

My only regret of the trip was not being able to catch one of the beautiful king salmon like this 27 pounder caught by my friend, Dean. We caught the tail end of the king run and were fortunate to be able to hook some at all, especially when we were mostly fishing spots not considered prime king territory. I was quite envious when I saw that beast rise up from the depths like a silvery submarine. I guess that gives me a good reason to return!

Thanks to Waterfall for providing our group with the trip of a lifetime! The attention to detail and customer service is quite evident from the moment you step on to the receiving dock to the time you board the floatplane for the flight back to Ketchikan… Waterfall certainly took care of our every need!”
