What Anglers Say
★★★★★
“We went with Mark at Kenai River Cowboys and we’re not disappointed. Mark looks like a young buck, but don’t let looks fool you. This guy knows his fish. And knows how to teach everyone the right method.”

“Sam was awesome. It’s been a tough year for silvers but Sam knew where to go on the river to get me hooked up with some coho, on top of putting our group on a bunch of awesome trout. He’s the best!”
