I had an outstanding 3 days of fishing with Mike the end of September. I fished with a friend who is a much better flyfisher and Mike was able to work with both of us despite our different skill levels. He is a top notch guide, knows the river well, has great gear and will put you on a lot of fish. We did the lower canyon add on 2 of the 3 days. If you want a stand out experience he is your guide. Come prepared for serious fishing.

Third trip to Alaska at the beginning of October 2023 and I did my 6-7 and 8th day of fishing with Mike Adams, a very professional, safe and constant guide and friend, I will definitely return to see him for a fourth trip.

We had an unforgettable three day fishing trip with Mike. Is a gentleman who will take the time to give you the good fishing technique but also to explain the behavior of different species of fish to be successful and learn more about this magnificent Kenai river. Being in a drift boat with Mike on this river is a guaranteed fishing success in an incredible setting.

Amazing trip, nice action on the water. Caught our limit of Coho’s. Sockeyes were active in the water. Mike was professional, knowledgeable and patient! Best part of our trip to Alaska!

We fished the river with Mike in early October and had a great day. We took our 4 and 5 year old and they had a total blast and Mike was patient and awesome with them. As a fellow Alaskan guide, I can say with confidence that Mike is the real deal - he is passionate about what he does, cares about the fishery and is as stoked as we were to land fish. We will definitely fish with him again!

INCREDIBLE! Truly. I’ve fished with Mike several years now. Full day trips that make memories like none other! As someone new to fly Mike is super helpful and gets a novice familiar and on the fish! Always great wildlife to be seen as well. Book a trip or three today! You won’t regret it.

Fantastic 2 days with Mike. He was knowledgeable, relaxed, and clearly very skilled. We felt like we were the only ones catching fish. it was a fantastic father son trip. I would highly recommend to anyone looking to enjoy the Kenai

Great trip!. Even though we were in between Salmon runs, Mike knew where to find the fish and we limited out in a few hours. Highly recommend. Thanks Mike, Rick and Tina

This was a trip of a lifetime. I was fortunate to get the famous Mike Adams who is a true waterman/guide. He arranged for us to have one fly in trip on a cool float plane, 3 days fishing the Kenai (two for salmon with fly rods and one day catch and release for trout) then we finished of our trip with two days of saltwater fishing. Mike is amazing when it comes to responsiveness and teaching. He got us up early (very early) and we were fortunate to limit our everyday. If you are trying to plan your first or second trip to Alaska or are a local and really want to get on the fish Mike is the best.
