iFishAlaska Guide Service is under new ownership. The previous owner, Pat, was my favorite guide in the Mat-Su Valley. I fished with him three or four times a season over the past ten years and he was going to be a tough act to follow. I received the news of Pat retiring from the guiding business with sadness, but trusting that he would be sure to sell his business to someone who was knowledgeable and dedicated to giving his long-term clients a good fishing experience. In that respect, I was not disappointed. Two days ago (June 14) I had my first fishing trip with iFishAlaska's under new ownership. The new owner, Spencer, chose a tough time to take over a fishing guide service. Many rivers are closed to fishing for king salmon this season. The Deshka was limited to catch-and-release only. I had guests from Dallas and we had the trip booked well in advance, so we were committed to fishing, even if we couldn't retain our catch. Our guide, Lief, provided us with a great fishing experience! He Knew what he was doing and was very attentive. My guests had some physical challenges, but he was patient and very helpful and they went home with memories (and photos) of a great Alaska fishing experience! Everyone caught fish, and because it was catch-and-release, we weren't limited to catching just one and fished all morning long! Lief earned this five-star rating! I will definitely be fishing with him again.

Great service, knows the river with excellent results! My wife really enjoyed his professional directions, and catching a few too :-)

This was our fourth trip fishing for silver salmon with Pat, and the three of us limited out. Pat's experience and love of fishing is evident in the way he leads his excursions. He makes every effort to ensure that you catch fish, and he is a patient teacher. I recommend iFishAlaska Guide Service to both the novice and seasoned fisher person. You will not be disappointed.

We were 4 total noobs who had never fished before. In just slightly over 2 hours, we caught our limits of 4 king salmons totaling 75 lbs. And this was only the start of the King Salmon run! Pat knows the place well and it really helped a lot. We had such a wonderful experience. Thank you Pat!
