Awesome fishing experience and great guide (Brett) - The company contacted me before my 1/2 day fly fishing experience to set up location and timing. We met with Brett who was our guide for the day. He was awesome. He taught us how to fly fish within minutes and got us going. He was there to help us and make adjustments throughout the day. Without him we would have not caught as much fish as we did. Between the 3 of us we caught 15 salmon. Wow. He conducted himself as a professional and knew were to take us. Huge shout out to Brett. Memories for life with my two sons. Thank you!

Remarkable! - Did a 1/2 day trip for Sockeye on the Kasilof with Cooper Landing Fishing Guide. Only mistake we made was we didn't do a full day. The trip was outstanding and we caught loads of fish! I give the fishing 5 stars and the guide Brian, 6 stars. The fishing was a blast but what really made the trip was our guide, Brian. His passion radiated from the time we met in the parking lot at the landing to when we parted ways after our trip concluded. My wife and I took my parents with us who are in their 80's and Brian took better care of them than we ever could have imagined. Brian was awesome! My parents haven't stopped talking about the time they had and how impressed they were with our guide. If you are looking for a bucket-list salmon fishing adventure in Alaska, I highly recommend booking with this company and request Brian as your guide. Not only was he highly focused on making our 4 hours with him the best experience we could have, we really enjoyed starting a relationship with him which we intend to continue. My wife and I will definitely be back to Alaska and we will definitely be seeing Brian again. Thanks Cooper Landing Fishing Guide and especially Brian for making this a very memorable experience with my parents!

Awesome time fishing an Alaska river! Dream come true! - Awesome day with Brian! This guy goes above and beyond to make sure you catch fish and definitely is not a clock watcher. Our group got 12 when the bulk of people on the River weren’t getting half that. Very patient and instructive. These guys are first class!

Great fishing experience! - This group knows how to create a great fishing experience! We felt really well cared for, particularly that this group has people wear waders, which was so helpful when walking in or out of the boat, and when we were rained on for a bit. It's a beautiful area, and we plan to go back for more another time of year. Shoutout to Aaron for keeping it fun even when we were "fishing, not catching" :)

We finally fished the Kenai!! - Dave Lisi and Cooper Landing Fishing Guide are amazing. My husband, son and I spent a beautiful October day on the Kenai River. Silver salmon, rainbow trout and bald eagles everywhere! We all caught some fish and Dave made sure that everyone had a wonderful time. Can’t wait to eat some Salmon we caught tonight. Best fishing day ever!! My son is “hooked”!!! Definitely a must do! We will be back for sure! Also check out the fishing books Dave wrote…not just for kids!

Great Alaska fishing experience - It was such a great experience for my wife and I. Our guide Brian, was awesome! He is energetic and very knowledgeable about the Salmon fishing of the Kasilof River. Under his guidance we quickly (2hours!) fished our quota of salmon, he cleaned and fileted the fish and we harvested 17Lb of clean fresh fish to take home. Thank you Brian!

Another Wonderful Trip - My wife and I continue to go out with this great bunch of folks. We did another half day trip, this time, with Mike. We started early and had the river to ourselves for much of the day. I landed a pretty nice sockey and my wife landed a really nice dolly varden. Mike with great with his teaching and good humor. They guys are professional and I highly recommend them.
