It’s a shame that my boys 10 and 15 had never been fishing before this, but we picked the right guide with Dustin.  Dustin was absolutely responsive from the initial booking and fully exceeded our expectations especially since we did not know what to expect.  He met the challenge of our inexperience by providing all equipment, escorting us to a great spot and patiently showed the boys and I how to fish.  Dustin continually gave pointers about technique.  Even when my 15y/o asked question after question about fish preparation, Dustin took the time to make sure he understood everything.  It was a fantastic experience and the boys can not wait to go again.  They have specifically requested that we go with Dustin next time.  I hope that Dustin will let us go with him again after my 10 y/o snagged him.  We couldn’t have asked for a better day on the river.  See you next year Dustin!

Dustin is hands down the best guide you could have.  We had the best time, learned alot, and caught some fish.  Total we caught 4 Sockeyes, a Jack (which is a young king salmon) and a couple of kings that didn’t stay on.  When we started fishing there were a number of boats trolling the same area.  Then…..Bam my line goes.  I reeled in a King Salmon, 35-40 lbs and somewhere between 42-46 inches.  I however could not keep this fish as you could only keep Kings under 34”.  It was the best fun.  Dustin is your guy, not just a great guide but a great stand up guy who says something and follows thru.  You want a great time, CALL DUSTIN

We went sockeye fishing with Captain Dustin this weekend and had a BLAST! He was knowledgeable, patient with our skill level, and ensured we were having a great time. Before the trip, he made sure we had directions to the launch and was very communicative. Next time we want to fish, I’ll definitely be reaching out to Dustin. We couldn’t recommend him more for any level of angler looking to have a great time out on the water!

Taught us what we needed to know for fishing the Kenai River for Sockeye.  We got our limit in a little less than a hour.  That means he put us on the fish right away.  He recommended the Kasilof River to do on our own since the limit wash
6 on that river, Kenai was only 3. 
I highly recommend the use of Captain D’s charter for the novice to the advanced.

Thanks Captain D for your knowledge. We got 6 in the Kasilof later that day.  It was an amazing Day #1 of 7 for fishing.

Knows the sport, the law, and the territory well and tries hard to adapt to conditions to get fish in the boat. Could use a little more explanation of what to do and expect up front for young or inexperienced clients and after action comments could be considered a little rushed or critical. He is heavy on the fishing and not as much on everything that goes with it. More experienced anglers would likely consider Dustin a 5 Star guide.
