My first trip to Alaska

Please convey my sincere thanks to [the crew] for an excellent fishing adventure July 5 - 9, 2010. This was my first trip to Alaska and to a fishing camp. The fishing was great (see pictures) and the Alaska Far West services were first class. Your staff really made the trip enjoyable from the moment we boarded the float plane in Ketchikan to our departure with box loads of fish.

As a fishing novice, I appreciated the help and support from your fishing captains (Billy and Will) for setting up the fishing rods, baiting the hooks, netting the catch and cleaning the fish. More than that though, I appreciated the constant support and encouragement.

The accommodations and food were great and the Alaska scenery was spectacular! Again, many thanks to everyone at AFW for a wonderful trip and loads of great memories.

A new season

It's been a while but we got started June 17. Big tides slowed salmon fishing for a while but it seems to be back on track now.

First time guests Bill and Mike from Delaware sent these pictures from their June 23 - 27 trip.

"Mike and I had a really great time. We recognize the salmon fishing was still slow, but we also enjoyed the great fishing for other species, and the great wild Alaskan experience.

Also, everyone at AFW was extremely attentive to our needs, and really fun to be with.

Thanks to all for a wonderful time with Alaska Far West."

A few early silvers showed up along with the kings we expect in June. Everyone enjoys the Alaska spot prawns for appetizers. We pull the pots every day.

And we can still keep a few yellow eyes!
