We booked this Salmon fishing expedition through Miller's Landing by phone. Our Tour was through JR's Beach Fishing. After calling the night before to confirm our reservation, we took a taxi from Seward out to McDonald's Creek. We waited for our guide, Will, who was 30 minutes late. We thought that we could buy fishing licenses from our guide, this wasn't true, so we head back into town to buy the licenses. After getting our wading boots on (provided by our guide) it turns out that he brought only enough fishing poles for the five fishermen in our group. (this will become a factor later) In the 5 hours that we fished, Will took us to 2 different spots at McDonald’s Creek. He gave us 30 seconds of instructions. After 5 hours we noticed that everyone around us were catching salmon. We asked him for advice, he just shrugged his shoulders and said just keep throwing the hook out there. One of the other fishermen (who was catching fish) noticed that the prongs on our hooks were bent inward. You can't catch salmon if the fishing hook can't snag the salmon (this was after we had already been fishing for 4 hours!!) Our guide didn't bring any extra hooks. After 3 hours one of the fishing poles broke…but Will didn't have any extra. An hour later another pole broke. So for almost $1000 we got 5 hours of watching our guide just stand there. One of our group did manage to catch 2 salmon (enough for a delicious dinner that night at the Apollo Restaurant where they prepared our salmon to perfection!) We actually got better fishing advice from the taxi driver on the way in and the fishermen who were actually catching the salmon. Don't waste your money on Miller's Landing and JR's Beach Fishing, just rent some boots and poles and talk to the taxi drivers, you will be happier and more successful in the long run.
