My name is Steve I have been fishing in Alaska for the last 15 years. I was on a trip in Sept. 2020 to fish the Kenai with my son Stephen and a friend James and we booked 2 days with 5 Dogs Fishing and I have to tell you that Adam is the best guide that I have ever had on the river. We did full-day floats through the cannon to the lake and caught so many large fish. All his equipment was top-notch. I used a little 5 weight and had a blast fighting the big fish. My friend James was a big photographer and Adam stopped the boat so he could take pictures of eagles, black bears, brown bears whenever he wanted. It was my son Stephen's first time in Alaska and I'm glad that we had Adam as a guide. I would recommend Five Dogs Fishing to anyone that wants a great day on the river.

Adam is not just guiding you to fish, he takes you on an adventure! From having all the gear you need, to making sure you are comfortable with it, he is awesome! The above mentored gear, by the way, is top notch and well maintained, ensuring you stay dry and comfortable, and ready to catch fish. We caught Rainbow trout, Dolly Varden and Salmon, and saw a variety of wildlife. Even if handling fish is not your thing, he will help you get a picture showing your catch, so you can relive that awesome moment with friends at home.
Amazing scenery, coupled with his intimate knowledge of the river, made it a great part of a one in a lifetime trip, I would definitely recommend booking a trip with 5 Dogs!

I had a full day charter guided by Adam Snyder, in his new green river guide boat, on the Kenai River just below where the Russian River empties into the Kenai River; it is just outside Cooper Landing.
Adam places me where the Russian Red Sockeye were running and patiently showed me, someone with no fly fishing experience, how to cast and catch fish. Had a great day on the river! He set me up for success!

Adam is an outstanding guide. Very professional and extremely knowledgeable on fishing the area. Very responsive to customer desires and he goes out of his way to ensure you have the best experience possible. Signed up for a trout river fishing trip and Adam provided us with multiple options allowing us to chose what we wanted to do. Adam has over 15 years of fishing experience in the area so if you want someone who can truly provide you a memorable fishing experience Adam is your guy. He will definitely be the guide I use when I come back to the area.

My family of 4 fished with Adam today and had a fantastic time. We highly recommend choosing him to be your fishing guide. The sockeye season had just started and they weren't moving up the Kenai very fast so he gave us the option of starting earlier in the morning to try for salmon or to start later and go for catch and release trout. We decided to go for the earlier time and it ended up being a success. None of us had fly fished before and Adam was a patient teacher. He provided waders and we fished both from inside the boat and in the water which were both fun. He made sure we all had a good experience and we all caught enough salmon to eat some tonight and also bring several home. It ended up being sort of a wildlife tour too as we saw more bald eagles than we could count and also a beaver happily swimming along in front of our boat with a large branch for quite some time until it veered off to it's lodge. A good time was had by all. We will definitely book with 5 dogs fishing if we ever visit Alaska again.

That was a really fun trip and I am so stoked you enjoyed, and are enjoying the Sockeye Salmon you caught! The Upper Kenai is a great and scenic river that is for sure!

I had the experience of a lifetime fishing with Adam Snyder and Five Dog Fishing on my Full Day Float Trip down the Kenai River in mid-August. Adam possesses all of the qualities that you look for in a great fishing guide. I highly recommend Adam and Five Dog Fishing.

• As owner and operator, Adam and Five Dog Fishing are able to give you a fantastic personalized fishing experience.
• Adam is extremely knowledgeable of the species and the environment in which they inhabit.
• He is extremely organized and sets you up for success with an assortment of top notch equipment that can be used in all conditions.
• Adam is always paying attention and is quick to change lures, switch lines or net a fish
• He is extremely patient, a great teacher and a great conversationalist(on all topics) who loves fishing.
• And, finally, but most importantly, Adam is someone you want fish with, as you will be spending a few hours out on the water with your guide.

From a customer experience perspective, Adam and his wife were terrific. From my initial emails to when I arrived at the boat ramp, Adam and his wife were the consummate hosts. Helpful in every way and even kind enough to make some dining recommendations in Cooper Landing of which I was greatly appreciative.

It was an amazing day on the river. I walked away from the experience a better fisherman and I hope to be back to fish with Adam and Five Dog fishing again. I hope others will too.

I am a retired high school Agriculture teacher and an avid trout fisherman from northern Wisconsin. Adam Snyder of Five Dogs Fishing on the Kenai River, is an excellent host and guide. He is a very good teacher and will put you on fish. We limited on Silvers, caught sockeyes, and rainbow trout. His personality and character is outstanding which made the trip so much fun. He is conscientious and works very hard to make sure you are successful in catching fish. I highly recommend him. You will have a good time. (I tried to upload a picture but trip advisor said my pic was too large). I was pictured with Adam and the stringer of fish we caught. It was impressive.

Outstanding experience. My son and I just finished a 3-day trip on the Kenai. Adam was great from the first email to the last day of fishing. He put us on to fish in many areas, was knowledgeable, professional and extremely helpful. We have fished together for over 15 years, and we both felt that this was a trip of a lifetime. He even taught us a new type of dry fly fishing! Don't miss the opportunity to fish with Adam and Five Dogs Fishing.

We did a half day trip with Adam on the upper Kenai - my 13 year old son and I fishing and my wife photographing everything. Adam was outstanding - put us on fish early and often. We caught rainbows, Dolly Varden and some sockeye - was a fantastic 4 hours.

Great fishing tour with Adam. Although we only caught one salmon in our four hour trip, Adam knew the right spots to find fish. He spotted out eagles and sheep on the trees and mountains. Great trip!
