Our family did a 4 hr float trip with Nate as our guide on the Kenai River. We caught several Rainbow trout and had an amazing Alaskan experience. Nate was great !! He taught us how to fly fish with two of us catching trout with the fly rod. Saw a moose with two calves as well. We will never forget this trip. Thanks to Alex and Nate for unforgettable memories.
