We visited in mid-August for silvers. We were not disappointed! Though we did not limit out every day, we enjoyed every day. We had great guides. They are knowledgeable, personable and entertaining. The rooms are clean and comfortable. Nice large kitchen, full size fridge, microwave, coffee maker, etc. The staff are friendly and helpful. It was great to have someone... More

RW is the place you want to be to fish, he has the best set up and guides in the area. Large rooms with everything you need. Full size fridge and stove, can sleep five easy but you could go up to seven without a problem other than there is only one bathroom. You could save a lot just by... More

We all would like to come home with a trophy fish, but it is serious work. It took us 18 hrs. of fishing to get our two beautiful kings, several years ago. This trip, we got skunked a few days, but still were able to catch silvers. Fishing is not a sure thing, but the guides give 100% effort on... More

We are at RW's Fish Camp and went out with them yesterday fishing for silvers. There were two boats that went out on the Kenai with four people fishing on each boat . . . one boat came back with 9 and ours with only 2. (The personal limit was 3 per day.) I personally felt that our guide was... More

We did not stay at the Big Eddy Resort, but went out for a half-day salmon charter on the river. We had a great experience and would definitely return again. The only reason I did not give this a 5-star is because when we originally called and set up the charter, we were told over the phone, "Just show up... More

We are sorry the river did not meet your expectations. The Kenai River is one of the most challanging rivers in the world, that is the reason why it has always been such a popular and rewarding fishery. We have always worked with our customers to exceed their expectations, but the one thing that has to be kept in mind,... More

I would not stay here again. Condo was great, right on the river, however, guides were not friendly and seemed to not be able to wait to get back in. They were disrespectful and made it NOT fun to fish. Other services such as cleaning, freezing and packing th e fish was outstanding. Trip was great except for the guides.... More
