About Us

Fishing Alaska for Over 30 years

About John

In 1991, I made the life-changing move to Alaska and quickly developed a deep connection with its breathtaking landscapes and abundant natural resources. Over the years, I’ve learned the value of being a responsible steward of these resources. My time in the field is spent honing my knowledge of the best fishing locations for each species, ensuring every trip is productive and enjoyable. My goal is to pass on a love for fishing while safeguarding these resources for future generations.

Every trip is a chance to connect with nature.
