"I
have fished the Naknek for big rainbows on my own several times. This past year
I decided to see what all the talk was about and booked a trip with Katmai Fishing
Adventures. I will never fish
the Naknek on my own again. I cannot think of a higher compliment. Katmai Fishing
Adventures knows the river, has excellant boats and, most importantly,
knows where the big ones are each day."
